           Breathlessly her hands are crossed 
           Windy night's grace
           Stormy night's solace 
           Reaching over the darkness
           Ascending all the light
           Touching life itself
           Windy night's grace
           Stormy night's solace
           She caresses with care
           Stronger as a pair
           What is meant of this life
           Young and sweet
           She flies
