Take the chip of a star and you hit it with an iron bar
And when its broken in two "“ you've made the eyes for you
Take the song from a bird and you turn it to words
And when you're through "“ you've found a voice for you
Like a song on the wind "“ My beautiful friend
Take the coat of a tree "“ Autumn's fallen leaves
Weave them gold and fair "“ and that is your hair
Take the pale of the moon, dip into it with a spoon
Touch the earth again and that is your skin
Come to me again "“ My beautiful friend
For you were born when the world first turned
The flames flickered and the first fires burned
You are the phoenix and the heavens clear
Let you be mine and I'll call you dear
Take the clouds from the sky and the sun shone bright
Shape them with a file and that is your smile
Take the heat of the earth when the mountains burst
Put it in a mold and your heart you'll hold
Like a song on the wind "“ my beautiful friend
Together to the end, My beautiful friend
