lyrics

Lonely River

O lonely river
take me in your easy flow
O precious mountain
chill me with your April snow
when the wind blows it blows cold

O welcome valley
lift me from your steep ravine
raise me high & over
everything that's deep & mean
what cuts cold cuts clean

O gen'rous giver
touch me when my head is low
lay your hands upon me
show me what my feelings know
from the little that's sown - there's a big thing grows

O it's an easy tack
finding a comfort looking back
the past's a place to go

Always in my head
always my mind
always in my dream
it's always all the time

There's a wild receiver
twists me in her loving arm
adjuster & reliever
keeps a mystery close & warm
close & warm

O lonely river
take me in your easy flow
O precious mountain
chill me with your April snow
when the wind blows it blows cold
when the wind blows it blows cold
everything that's deep & mean
what cuts cold cuts clean
show me what my feelings know
from the little that's sown there's a big thing grows
finding a comfort looking back
the past's a place to go a place to go
a place to go........

Work emanates from a wooden shed in mid-Wales, serenaded by owls & robin-song.
