Queen Of The Slipstream

You're the queen of the slipstream

With eyes that shine

You have crossed many waters to be here

You have drank of the fountain of innocence

And experienced the long cold wintry yearsThere's a dream where the contents are visible

Where the poetic champions compose

Will you breathe not a word of this secrecy

Will you still be my special rose?Goin' away far across the sea

But I'll be back for you

I'm gonna tell you everything I know

Baby, everything is trueWill the blush still remain

On your cheeks, my love?

Is the light, is the light always seen in your hair?

Gold and sliver they placed

At your feet, my dear

But I know you chose me insteadAll rightWell, I'm goin' away far across the sea

But I'll be back for you

Tell you everything I know

Baby, everything is trueYou're the queen of the slipstream

I love you so

You have crossed many waters to be here

And you drank, and you drank at the fountains of innocence

And experienced, you know very wellYou're the queen (you're the queen), queen of the slipstream (queen of the slipstream)

Yeah, yeah, queen of the slipstream (you're the queen)

I seen you slippin' and slidin' in the snow (you're the queen)

Oh, queen of the slipstream (you're the queen)

You come running to me, darling (you're the queen)

Queen of the slipstream (you're the queen)

(You're the queen)

(You're the queen)
