Gabrielle Songtext
von Beth Hirsch

Windy autumn evening by the river
Stands a man, a man named Gabriel
Real looker, her back began to shiver
Reminders of the months under his spell
He spoke a measure, she recognized his rhythm
Been a year without a sound
She saw it coming in gestures he delivered
Her eyes just kept the ground

′Cause Gabriel has learned to tell
The gap and false to real
And each man with saint in hand
Intentions revealed


He goes, "I acted badly, can you understand me?
The peace I'm making for I′m a changed man
I was such a fool in how I used to treat you
Such a fool to beat you out of life
Gone the days that leave without traces
Gone the days I hate to see my face
I know it's late, I sweat and hesitate
Wouldn't it be great?"

′Cause Gabriel, let me in your will
And we will heal in time, oh we will
For all that there′s and all that there
Is you to seek to find, Gabriel

After they parted nude in amazement
She heard his words a hundred times again
A fantasy had haunted her for ages
That fantasy had now become a friend
She came upon an earring in the street
A tearful pearl, silver to the sight
She finally won, her walk became a run
She felt as she could fly

'Cause Gabriel had learned to tell
The gap and false to real
And her faith will mean to me
His love′s strength revealed
Gabriel
