A Silver Mt. Zion - Non-Album Songs Lyrics - 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...
