Silver River

Oh silver river you have carried me
Down from the mountain to the calming sea
But when the fires come howling through
Who's gonna carry you
Oh ancient pine you have held me close
When the sky darkens and the north wind blows
But when the forest shifts beneath your feet
Oh who will hold thee

Oh old giver
Silver river
Take now a light
Into the dark and endless night

Oh sparrow hawk how your call beckons
Through darkened forests when the night descends
But when the winds prove too much for you
Oh will call for you
Oh whitened sands how you have warmed my skin
Upon the sunset when the night sets in
But when the rising waters scatter you
Who's gonna warm you
Oh silver river you have carried me
Down from the mountain to the calming sea
But when the fires come howling through
Who's gonna carry you

Oh old giver
Silver river
Take now a light
Into the dark and endless night
