The Echo and the River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He watches the morning light Catch on her raven hair Curves of her lips Promising a life that they will share [Verse 2] Two lovers intertwined In the light of a winter's dawn As the rumble of war sweeps down through the valley [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 bе a mother But the echoеs of the fallen Still carry on in the morning [Verse 4] Searching for the way home To their own true love's kiss So come to me, oh lover Your unborn is yearning [Verse 5] Come to me, oh lover My heart is still burning And my soul is yearning To feel the river swirling [Outro] To join you once more In the next world, eternal To join you once more In the next world, eternal
