Jasmine in the morning, at first light Violet lavender moon, relic of the night A sunflower's rising to greet the light While choirs of birds are singing farewell to the night Arcadian Life Everything is right I'd leave here in a second I wouldn't think twice Dewey blossoms shining, in vibrant light Fig tree feels weary, burdened by the nights A lone raven soaring toward the sunrise Crickets fall silent, waiting for the night Arcadian Life Everything is right I'd leave here in a second I wouldn't think twice

High in the desert lives an old pine tree Crowning the mountain's cliffs crimson and steep Worn, wild, and weary I now long for sleep So on my journey here I stop, and I dream Of the mountains, of seas long ago Gone from time And of rivers Sculptors of the canyon far below Songs of ravens Dotting the time Through echo And remembering Everything flows on through time And so, time will flow, passing through my open mind And so, time will flow, passing through my open mind Methuselah greets another dawn Entranced by the setting my mind wanders on To the mountains, to seas long ago Lost to time And to rivers Changed their course long ago Songs of ravens Dotting the time Through echo And remembering Everything flows on through time And the mountains will crumble down to the sea And the mountains will crumble down to the sea And the mountains will crumble down to the sea

See her dancing in the blue twilight In her robe of soft cosmic white Primrose, lilies, queen of night All yearn for her beauty bright, it's true Lady of the moon Praise you Lady of the moon See her dance upon the silver lake Shimmering upon the darkened waves Glimmering, shimmering silver light All behold her beauty bright, it's true Lady of the moon Praise you Lady of the moon Warm like an evening in June My fair lady of the moon See her dancing in the blue twilight In her robe of soft cosmic white Primrose, lilies, queen of night All behold her beauty bright, it's true Lady of the moon Praise you Lady of the Moon Warm like an evening in June My fair lady of the moon Fair lady of the moon Fair lady of the moon

River Song 03:37
Crystal waters spring forth From their earthen shrine A master sculptor, ever humble Knows no limits, isn't burdened by time Gentle river, vengeful river Bittersweet giver, taker of life Pebbles tumble, mountains crumble The river carries on, unbridled by time In the shallows water races on Cascading over the rocks Pebbles tumble, mountains crumble The river flows on, unbridled by time The water bubbles, thunder rumbles Dwarfed by the roar of the falls In the shallows water races on Reciting its timeless song Go on river As water weathers stone, so too can we change in our time As water weathers stone, so too can we change in our time Roll on river, flow on river Go on river, flow through time
