“Taking the Veil” is a song by the English singer-songwriter David Sylvian. It is the first single released in support of his album Gone to Earth.
In dresses white, all set for sail
A little girl dreams of taking the veil
In dresses white, all set for sail
A little girl dreams of taking the veil
On beaches clean of sand and shell
A little girl dreams of taking the veil
All lightning bright and thunder loud
A little girl dreams safe and sound
