Afghan woman, deemed a princess
Born a true blue thoroughbred
Head a chiselled face of fables
lyrics of Afghan Woman by T-REX from the album MY PEOPLE WERE FAIR AND HAD SKY IN THEIR HAIR (1968)
Omen of no ill
Hills that spread around your chamber
Blooms that twine around your ears
Blossoms of the royalest texture angel of the years
Clad in sacks and scraps of linen
Living 'neath your waterwell
Praying that my youthy pauper's face
Will quench you well
Gazelle girl striding through your palace
Precious jewels nestle in your hair
Rameses born with platinum future
Take my heart and care.
