A Perfect Indian |
| A Perfect Indian is he |
| Remembering him life is sweet |
| Like a weeping willow |
| His face on my pillow |
| Comes to me still in my dreams |
| And there I saw a young baby |
| A beautiful daughter was she |
| A face from a painting |
| Red cheeks and teeth aching |
| Her eyes like a wild Irish sea |
| On a table in her yellow dress |
| For a photograph feigned happiness |
| Why in my life is that the only time |
| That any of you will smile at me |
| I’m sailing on this terrible ocean |
| I’ve come for my self to retrieve |
| Too long have I been feeling like Lir’s children |
| And there’s only one way to be free |
| He’s shy and he speaks quietly |
| He’s gentle and he seems to me |
| Like the elf-arrow |
| His face worn and harrowed |
| Is he a daydreamer like me |
| I’m sailing on this terrible ocean |
| I’ve come for my self to retrieve |
| Too long have I been feeling like Lir’s children |
| And there’s only one way to be free |
