Intro
Verse 1
She Danced With Daisies In Her Hair—Like A Springtime Meadow
And All The Hills Would Stop And Stare—And The Flowers Sing Out
Like Golden Bells Upon The Breeze—Whoa!—With Songs Of Sun And Budding Leaf
Verse 2
I Heard Her Singing In The Reeds—By The Withywindle
Like Silver Floating On The Breeze—Even Old Man Willow
Would Hear Her Voice And He Would Smile—Whoa!—Her Voice, Like Morning Light
Verse 3
I Took Her Hand And Called Her Fair—River-Woman’s Daughter
We Wed Beneath The Willows There—In Her Bright Green Grotto
The Forest Folk All Came To See—Whoa!—All Fur And Claw And Cunning Teeth
Verse 4
I Took Her Dancing Through The Hills—Like A River Running
From Mountain Glade To Valley Fields, And The Halls Of Summer
Rang Out And Sang In Harmony—Whoa!—As Flowers Bloomed And Blossomed Sweet
Bridge
They Call Me Eldest; I Remember
The First Seed And Drop Of Rain
And My Voice Can Set The Trees And
All The Hills To Laughing Song
My River Daughter, Clear As Water
And Slender As A Willow-Wand;
She’s Waiting For Me, And The Lilies
That I Bring When Summer’s Gone
When All The Leaves Make Golden Halls—Whoa!
When All The Leaves Make Golden Halls
