|
So deep in the water |
|
Sleep, dark as the night |
|
Somehow it seems it was all another dream |
|
Soon dissolved in the light. |
|
Oh, we were by the waterline. |
|
Vague, the song of the night. |
|
Innocent to all the peasant gods with you, |
|
So, we drink to be renewed. |
|
On the long, deep river |
|
Where the moorhens cry |
|
As the first sun quivers in the open sky... |
|
Oh, she came down the river. |
|
Soon, all the leaves were still. |
|
The current was strong and the river was so long. |
|
So, we drink to be renewed. |
|
In the long cool evening, |
|
Where the peacocks shiver |
|
And the boat starts down the silver river way... |
|
I remember you saying, |
|
As her deep eyes opened, |
|
In the first light seeing her, |
|
"here is someone new". |
