Every spring was shimmering gold
The earth shed its skin of the
Shivering cold
The years they were short, the days The days were long
Sing with the birds the sweetest of Songs
Sing with birds the sweetest of Songs
Sing with the birds the sweetest of Songs
Come what may they'll never take Our love away
They'll never take out love away
The riverbed rolls through the Righteous and wrong
The silt where it settled soaked in a Song
Sun baked the soil and sin drained The bog
She sometimes run shallow but run All along
Sometimes run shallow but run
All along
Laces of leaves and white flowers Bound
Sewn by my hand with thread from The ground
My eyes spoke the word, mouths Made the sounds
Sometimes run wild and run us Aground
Sometime run wild and run is Aground
Come what may they'll never take Our love away
They'll never take out love away
The sun bleached our bones and Tanned our skin
And shone a light on all that has Been
We come from the dust to dust we Return
Rise from the ash of the withes that Burn
Hold on to each other, collect all you Learn
Remember you're free like the trees And the birds
Remember you're free like the trees
And th birds
Come what may they'll never take Our love away
