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".
