Alabaster Lady Lyrics - Carole King

Alabaster Lady 

I have always wanted to be a girl like you 

Long of leg and seeing the world the way you do 

But you're in tiny golden chains 

Somehow I think you know it don't make sense for you 

To let your wings be held by someone 

Who's too intense for you 

Alabaster Lady 

You are such a sweet and sensual spirit 

There's a joy within him singing 

And he loves you 'cause he knows that you can hear it 

Still the child within remains 

And though he knows that you have pains to talk about 

He sees your soul as you walk about 

And doesn't dare to let himself get near it

You're so very young 

Your life is just beginning 

Your consciousness begun 

Like a sleepy child awakening 

As you reach out for me 

With confidence still to come 

Can you teach me to be free 

Of my fear of being struck down by the pendulum 

Alabaster Lady 

As you weave a web of love with azure flowers 

The early morning hours 

Bring to you the misty light of dawn 

And he, knowing you'll be gone, only tries 

To hold you closer to him 

If you only knew your powers 

You could save him 

You could save him by just saying, 

NO SIR to him

Come on, Alabaster Lady 

You say that you love him--just be yourself 

You can save him if you try 

Come on Alabaster Lady 

Y'know just where you're goin' 

Keep on growin' 

And let yourself just fly 

Come on, Alabaster Lady 

Come on now, Alabaster Lady
