lyrics

Down by the golden water's edge
under large and leaning trees
the sun reflects off ripples and
the light plays on the leaves

it was on such a summer's day
too long ago to bear
you made a nest inside my heart
and you wove your feathers there

I took your hand and guided you
to the chanterelles that grew
and all my words watched silently
as a breath you softly drew

with slow and trembling fingertips
your eyes could scarcely rest
you traced three bright and scarlet lines
with berries on my chest

among the fields of autumn's age
all along the wooded dells
your vision'd thread like willow's root
through stones of sleeping wells

you'd visit in the wintertime
and we'd stoke the fires high
but my heart would follow overland
your shadow when you'd fly

so we would never know the sound
of our hearts on rhythm's loom
for despite my feeble offerings
your light escaped my room

they say that love's to catch the wind
or the breath of burning flame
I used my first to cry out loud
and my last may do the same
