My father he was a friend of mine
He said daughter I love you a lot
You've got a lot to see and a lot to learn
I'm gonna give you everything that I've got
I'm gonna give you the moon and I'll tell you soon
I'm gonna bring all the mountains to you
But the mist came down on the mountain
And it broke the circle in two
I don't want your serpent in my sun
I don't want your serpent in my sun
So I went over to Alaska
Just to try and find something new
The seeds were sown and the horn was blown
And the climate of the land was fresh as dew
The seasons flew and the seedlings grew
And the steps in the snow were all gone
Oh for a woman needs a friend indeed
Not a serpent in her sun
They tell me life is a jewel
That we swim in a sapphire sea
And it's not that hard to believe them
For I always was a child of fantasy
The gypsy says there'll be a day
When along will come something or someone
Who won't stand between you and the morning
Nor be a serpent in your sun
My father he was a friend of mine
He said daughter I love you a lot
