A Song For All Lovers (Live 1995)

Lyrics

[Intro] I have a woman friend whose name is Mardy Murie and she's 93 years old and I think she has done more for Alaska than any other single human being And it comes out of not only her love and the experience that she had in that great land and her love for that land, but her love for the man who was her husband whose name is Olaus Murie And when Olaus passed away many, many years ago The way that Mardy kept his love And her feeling for him alive in her heart Was to commit herself to saving the land That they both loved so very, very much I know a lot of things I could tell you about Mardy But the thing that I want to share with you Is that she spoke of Olaus always as her beloved And they loved to dance, the waltz especially And they danced whenever they could, whenever they felt like it, regardless of the conditions And I have this picture of them out in the frozen tundra of Alaska in each other's arms dancing And no music except the sound of the wind Rushing across that frozen wasteland Or someplace in a forest or someplace beneath the full moon And so I wrote this song for Mardy [Chorus] I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun I hear them singing a song for all lovers The song for the two hearts beating only as one [Verse 1] Imagine the morning no longer alone The arms of another, a place to belong No longer the struggle, no longer the night And ever becoming in the quickening light [Verse 2] To see the darkness, to listen within To answer in kindness, to ever begin To ever be gentle, to always be strong To walk in the wonder, to live in the song [Bridge] In a place of enchantment where the wild things are known Will the future remember when the lovers are gone? [Pre-Chorus] To ever be gentle, to always be strong To walk in the wonder, to live in the song [Chorus] And I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun I hear them singing a song for all lovers A song for the two hearts beating only as one [Outro] A song for the two hearts beating only as one
