A Silver Mt. Zion - There'S A River In The Valley Made Of Melting Snow lyrics

Mystery and wonder did light up the valley To be beat back by dark clouds and a harsh reeking wind And that battle staggered through 3 awful months there To stop for a minute Just to start up again Your hands like birds in the trees If the trees themselves were all on fire Your hips on mine make a choir Singing "baruch atta adonaï" And the river never made it to the lake So the lake surrendered to the mountain And the mountain's heart did fucking break At the sight of your nervous hands... And oh my love So gently breathing So my heart does softly swell So her & me did greet the evening With much red wine and giddy yells In these times of wandering soldiers Building towers on ruined land I hold my love to my belly And feel her breath fall across my hands... I have grown tired of the struggle And i've grown tired of making plans It think i'll quit to the valley Regain my strength And start again Where once we were some clumsy army Now we are just lazy hens I think i'll quit to the valley Until the light moves me again... So, let's link arms sisters and brothers And let's promise not to retreat There is glory in our failure So let's march to the rhythm of fatigue To live our lives without leaders To live in joy without fear Let's walk together to the valley And let the light redeem our hearts...
