Erica would much prefer to hide behind her hair 
Conveniently you cannot see her face 
Though she keeps her mind wide open 
To the affluent society 
And the mystery's still kept up in her hair 

Why don't you just stop and say 
One word or two or maybe more 
With a face like yours right away I'm sure 
One day I caught you running with the wind 

I can smell the perfume in the garden of her hair 
Mirrors and reflections I can see 
Though I never get quite close enough 
Because I stop and stare 
And the mystery's still kept up in her hair
