Crystal

(album: Michael Martin Murphey - 1982)

Sometimes when my life is dark and stormy
I close my eyes and try hard to recall
I see your face and trouble fades before me
When I'm staring in a crystal ball

Crystal, was the water
And crystal, was the sand
And crystal was our pure love
Like the water running all around the town
And crystal is my memory
When I think about the moonlight
Shining in her eyes and on the town
And crystal will be this winter
Frozen tears
You're not around

For awhile we were just like children

We were diving far beneath a waterfall
As we tumbled far beneath that rolling river
I said "Jesus why do I go back at all?"

From the crystal, in the water
From the crystal, in the sand
From the crystal in our pure love
Like the water running all around the town
And crystal is my memory
When I think about the moonlight
Shining in her eyes and on the town
And crystal will be this winter
Frozen tears

You're not around
