River, Mountain and Love

Let me tell you the story of river and mountain and love

Well, river spoke starlight and danced with the cosmos in motion

Dew-dappled grass blades bent low to the river

Kissing the cuckoo, sang softly to the river

Oh, river spoke starlight and danced with the cosmos in motion

And the banks of the river, where small creatures hum in the sunlight

Messages drift on the wings of the damselfly whisper

Mountain is calling and singing his song

Flow by river, flows down in all lifetimes long

Oh, messages drift on the wings of the damselfly whisper

For love's long song is ours for the singing

Love's great story is ours to tell

The bells set ringing and inset running

And the river sang back to the heart in the splendor and glory

Fed all the ferns who unfurl in the old love of spring

Won't you tumble and dance to the bluebell sea?

Won't you melt back down, won't you come home with me?

River fed all the ferns who unfurl in the old love of spring

And the mountain smiled back, "Now you're teasing me river old friend"

The river replied with a lark and the ripple and went

For a separate, they were, they were one through all time

Many ice ages known since their forms were combined

Oh, river replied with a lark and the ripple and went

For love's long song is ours for the singing

Love's great story is ours to tell

Bells set ringing and inset running

And the mountain knows the river has rained from the peak to the gullies

Snowy embrace in its cloud drifting lurching and kissing

The river knows the mountain has vessels and form

And a shape changed with ice sheets when both were reborn

And snowy embrace in its cloud drifting lurching and kissing

For love's long song is ours for the singing

Love's great story is ours to tell

Bells set ringing and inset running

Love's long song is ours for the singing

Love's great story is ours to tell

Bells set ringing and inset running
