	Story Behind the Song This song is about a woman I was in love with several years ago. We met at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA. There was a mutual attraction, but there were issues that kept us from getting together. I wrote this song to tell her how I felt, and to show her that understood the situation completely. When I played her the song, she was obviously moved, and she kissed me on the lips. And that was as far as it went. Lyrics Gabrielle (Seth Jackson) Look! there is a girl - her hair like a veil of gold Yes, there is a girl - her face like a tale untold There's a hunger we share and she gives me a stare With eyes that could melt the cold I can see paradise but her flames turn to ice She locks up her soul Gabrielle, Gabrielle - a vision in the night Gabrielle, Gabrielle - you are the morning light Gabrielle, Gabrielle - I've got you in my sight But I cannot take you, cannot break you, cannot shake you And I can't stand back no more Look! there is a girl - her heart wears a coat of steel Woman of the world - a mask that can seem so real I can see in her eyes underneath her disguise The fear of a lonely child Afraid of a part deep down in her heart That wants to run wild Gabrielle, Gabrielle - you're crying deep inside Gabrielle, Gabrielle - and so you run and hide Gabrielle, Gabrielle - I want you satisfied But I cannot find you, cannot bind you, can't unwind you And I can't stand back no more Many years ago they taught you to be oh, so strong You built a wall of stone and you fought your pain alone too long Gabrielle, Gabrielle - why don't you take my hand Gabrielle, Gabrielle - I'm the one whoI understands Gabrielle, Gabrielle - I'll give you all I can But you won't receive me, won't believe me, won't deceive me And I can't stand back no more Gabrielle, Gabrielle - your hardened broken heart Gabrielle, Gabrielle - still tearing you apart Gabrielle, Gabrielle - it's not too late to start But I cannot bend you, cannot mend you, can't defend you And I can't stand back no more
