Thee Silver Mountain Reveries - There\'s A River In The Valley Made Of Melting Snow lyrics
rate meMystery and wonder did light up the valley<br />
To be beat back by dark clouds<br />
And a harsh reeking wind<br />
<br />
And that battle staggered through three awful months<br />
To stop for a minute<br />
Just to start up again<br />
<br />
Your hands like birds in the trees<br />
If the trees themselves were all on fire<br />
Your hips on mine make a choir<br />
Singing "Baruch atta adonai"<br />
<br />
And the river never made it to the lake<br />
So the lake surrendered to the mountains<br />
And the mountain's heart did fucking break<br />
At the sight<br />
Of your nervous hands<br />
<br />
And oh, my love, so gently breathing<br />
So my heart does softly swell<br />
So her and me did greet the evening<br />
With much red wine and giddy yells<br />
<br />
In these times of wandering soldiers<br />
Building towers on ruined field<br />
I hold my love to my belly<br />
And her feel breath fall across my hands<br />
<br />
I have grown tired of the struggle<br />
And I've grown tired of making plans<br />
I think I'll quit to the valley<br />
Regain my strength and start again<br />
<br />
Where once we were some clumsy army<br />
And now we are just lazy hens<br />
I think I'll quit to the valley<br />
'Til the light moves me again<br />
<br />
So let's link arms, sisters and brothers<br />
And let's promise not to retreat<br />
Well, there is glory in our failure<br />
So let's march to the rhythm of fatigue<br />
<br />
To live our lives without leaders<br />
To live in joy without fear<br />
Let's walk together to the valley<br />
And let the lights redeem our tears
<br />
