A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way, on the day I was to wed
It is you who I wish to share my body with she saidWe'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head.
Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had diamonds on.
We left the road and headed up to the top of teh Whisper WoodAnd we walked 'till we came to where the holy magnolia stood.
And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and making love...
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.
The time was late my wedding wouldn't wait I was sad but I had to go,
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.
The wedding took place and people came from many miles around
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound
But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met'Cause she had given me something that my heart could notforget.
A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before...
As if was a year before...
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.
And in there lay a fairest little baby crying to be fed,
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on his head.
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in aweThey'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before.
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spreadI'll tell you everything I've learned, and Love is all... he said
Cat Stevens, whose real name is Steven Demetre Georgiou, is a British singer-songwriter born in London on July 21, 1948. Active from the late 1960s until 1978, he then embraced Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam, continuing his musical career with a more spiritual approach. Stevens is known for his melancholic and introspective folk-rock melodies, often accompanied by poetic lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, faith, and spirituality. Among his most celebrated songs are "Wild World", "Father and Son" and "Peace Train". The album "Tea for the Tillerman" (1970) is considered a classic of British folk-rock. After his conversion period, Yusuf Islam continued to release music with more religious lyrics, but he has always maintained a refined and poetic musical sensibility.
