The Echo and the River şarkı sözleri

He watches the morning light Catch on her raven hair Curves of her lips Promising a life that they will share Two lovers intertwined In the light of a winter's dawn As the rumble of war sweeps down through the valley So stay with me, oh lover My heart's filled with worry Stay with me, oh lover The borders are burning And the war is yearning To take you away from me And bury you deep in the clay down below So she waits by a river For the ghost of her lover His legacy she carries Soon to be a mother But the echoes of the fallen Still carry on in the morning Searching for the way home To their own true love's kiss So come to me, oh lover Your unborn is yearning Come to me, oh lover My heart is still burning My soul is yearning To feel the river swirling To join you once more In the next world, eternal To join you once more In the next world, eternal
