Lyrics

Taking the veil - 2003 - remaster

In dresses white, all set for sail

A little girl dreams of taking the veil

In dresses white, all set for sail

A little girl dreams of taking the veil

On beaches clean of sand and shell

A little girl dreams of taking the veil

All lightning bright and thunder loud

A little girl dreams safe and sound
