Box Full Of Treasure Lyrics - Sandy Denny

A box full of treasure and a golden comb 

I was surely give to you when the moon is [young? ] 

And christmas is in june. 

I will paint an evening of which there will be few, 

When the sky is water and the sun is blue, 

And all this is just for you. 

A handkerchief of silver to brush away your tear, 

A sword of finest leather to match your paper spear, 

For when the day draws near. 

When I will write these words in languages unknown 

I'll be the one to tell you your heart is made of stone 

And christmas will never be in june.
