IN THE VALLEY NEAR THE RIVER
( an irish ballad)

In the valley near the river
Where the sun always shines bright
There was this lost soul in mourning
Only able to live at night

When the moon was dressing everything
Silver blanket full of dreams
He'll appear just out of nothing
Just like waking up of sleep

In his eyes a hope for finding
What he wished for all his life
A soul mate who walk hand holding
Looking at each other eyes

He would walk over the water
He would float under the stars
Dragonfly of sparkling wings
Take me to my valentine

He would ask the wind to find it
He would beg the wizard chief
To help his heart to feel better
Or to end his endless dream

But the time would tell him nothing
Every night the same ordeal
Finding a flower in water
That will dry when the sun see

How did everything started
No one knows it's history
But the wind would sing the story
And the river 'll tell of him

In the valley near the river
Where the sun always shine bright
You'll see this lost soul in mourning
Only able to live at night
