What to do Madeleine
Sigh or reach Madeleine
What to be Madeleine
Sky or tree Madeleine

Ooh Madeleine
She's wooing the rain
And changing the names
Of everything

What's in your hand Madeleine?
Much more than you know little darling
Cup your ear towards the window
The owl he hoots in the night

He says, "Who's Madeleine?"
A flickering flame
Rivaling the light from all the stars

She's on the ridge in the dusk
Which way will she go?
Down to the field of rusteds
She stands so still in the breeze

You stand so still my love
With all your might
Where do you go my love
With your eyes shut tight?

There's a swirl at your feet
The leaves they scamper and chide

They say, "Who's Madeleine?"
A flickering flame
Drying the tears of heaven
