He watches the morning light
Catch on her raven hair
Curves of her lips
Promising a life that they will share
Two lovers intertwined
In the light of a winter's dawn

As the rumble of war sweeps down through the valley

So stay with me, oh lover
My heart's filled with worry
Stay with me, oh lover
The borders are burning
And the war is yearning
To take you away from me
And bury you deep in the clay down below

So she waits by a river
For the ghost of her lover
His legacy she carries
Soon to be a mother
But the echoes of the fallen
Still carry on in the morning

Searching for the way home
To their own true love's kiss

So come to me, oh lover
Your unborn is yearning
Come to me, oh lover
My heart is still burning
My soul is yearning
To feel the river swirling

To join you once more
In the next world, eternal
To join you once more
In the next world, eternal
