I know a princess
with one foot in the fire
Two steps from the water's edge
she rides three sheets to the wind
who whispers that
I know a girl who's walking on a wire
Balanced in the air conditioned
breeze that blows
The wind chimes tells me that
I know a woman with whom I conspire
Lawlessness abounds
Just listen to the sounds
as the night speaks to a woman
I once knew
Oh... night speaks!
I know a queen who loved me for a week
Said more from one through four
by seven she would hardly speak
But through words in a book
she never let me see
Stashed it high up on my shelf
and never made me doubt myself
Until reading the words
the section that I seek
Inside I see a tiny piece of me
spread out on the pages I once knew
Lawlessness abounds
Just listen to the sounds
as the night speaks to a woman
I once knew
Like water on the breeze
The night speaks to a woman
Like water on the breeze

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
