Thee Silver Mountain Reveries

Thee Silver Mountain Reveries - There\'s A River In The Valley Made Of Melting Snow lyrics

rate me

Mystery 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
