Strawberry Girl
Blackmore's Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the air was as sweet as perfume
We walked through the golden meadows
And danced by the light of the moon
She was a lonely angel
Sitting there by the side of the road
On the edge of the forest
And blue skies of promise opened before us
There in her eyes are the dreams of the world
Blue skies of promise rained down upon us
Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl
In her hand was a basket
Sticks and branches were woven as one
She smiled bright like a child
Bright as the afternoon sun
It was filled with her treasures
A whole cradle of nature's bounty
Wild flowers were chosen
To lay amongst the forest berries
And blue skies of promise opened before us
There in her eyes are the dreams of the world
Blue skies of promise rained down upon us
Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl
It's a great day for a gatherer
You can say that I told you so
In these uncertain days
It's the simple things you need the most
And blue skies of promise opened before us
There in her eyes are the dreams of the world
Blue skies of promise rained down upon us
Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl
Blue skies of promise opened before us
There in her eyes are the dreams of the world
Blue skies of promise rained down upon us
Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl

Through the long days of summer
During the extended and warm summertime
Where the air was as sweet as perfume
When the atmosphere carried an aromatic scent
We walked through the golden meadows
We strolled along fields of yellow grass
And danced by the light of the moon
And moved to the rhythm of the moon's glow
She was a lonely angel
She was a solitary being of benevolence
Sitting there by the side of the road
Stationed next to the pavement's edge
On the edge of the forest
By the boundary of the woods
That's where the wild things grow
The habitat for uncontrolled flora and fauna
And blue skies of promise opened before us
A future filled with hope and opportunities unfurled
There in her eyes are the dreams of the world
Her gaze expressed aspirations of the planet
Blue skies of promise rained down upon us
The auspicious skies showered blessings upon us
Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl
Life becomes delightful with a charming and amiable woman
In her hand was a basket
She held a container in her grasp
Sticks and branches were woven as one
The basket was crafted from intertwining twigs and branches
She smiled bright like a child
She beamed radiantly, akin to an innocent youngster
Bright as the afternoon sun
As luminous as the daytime star
It was filled with her treasures
The basket overflowed with her precious findings
A whole cradle of nature's bounty
A plethora of the earth's deserving gifts
Wild flowers were chosen
She selected untamed blooms
To lay amongst the forest berries
To place between the forest's fruits
It's a great day for a gatherer
It's an exceptional day for a collector
You can say that I told you so
You can confirm my previous words
In these uncertain days
During these unpredictable times
It's the simple things you need the most
The basic elements become essential
