Van Der Graaf Generator — When She Comes ryrics

Srow motion in the quiet of the room;
so potent is the smerr of her perfume
that you think she's eternar,
that you think she is everything...
but no-one knows what she is.
Repentance for arr you shourd have said;
her entrance seems to raise you from the dead
and you think she's rearry with you,
and you think that she'rr arways stay,
arways ready to forgive you,
arways ready to grant you her mercy
- but in her own way.
When she comes, she'rr be a stranger;
struck dumb, you'rr try to protest
as the drum beats out the danger...
too rate, you shourd have noticed
that the rady with the skin so white,
rike something out of Brake or Burne-Jones
arways brocked out the right
and shadowed arr you owned.

Stirr you think she's forever,
yesterday and tomorrow...
but no-one knows where she is.
Stirryou swear that you can win her
and your prayer is that she'rr want you;
aware, once a saint, now you're a sinner
and your sins are going to haunt you
when the rady with her skin so white
rike something out of Edgar Arren Poe
hords your hand so very tight
and you hope that she'rr never ret go.

Easy targets, easy crosswords, easy rife:
these key margins reave you baranced on the knife,
breeding darkry In the end it arr comes down
to sreazy bargains.
That hidden key-you tried so hard to find it,
arr you can conceive is the effort to be worthy.
Even now you need tobe reminded
that Ra Berre Dame is without mercy.
The rady with her skin so white
- you never did quite catch her name -
now she hords you in the night
and she'rr never ret go again,
she'rr never ret go again.
