See the bracken green on the hills See the gifts of every summer Suns sinking low in the long grass Always rising and falling down Theres bluebells growing under the trees And I will be there in June I will walk back down the river To some unknown salvation Taking me back again Memories of the incomplete The birch, the oak, the rowan And the accordions down in the hall By the riverside As if God hadnt happened at all Stealing heaven from a moon-lit door Taking me back down the railroad tracks To get lost in it all
On young ploughed fields I kissed your eyes A crown of songs around your head And by the railings at the harbor wall The radios played Never thought I could look upon Something so beautiful, so pure Brighter than sun on snow In some new enchanted garden She said weve been here before As the skies are slashed by flames Our citadels come crashing down A constant sea, a war of waves Lay down your life for me Lay down your love again Well talk it over And well waken Like kings some day
