Lily of the Valley

[Verse] Under hollowed skies by the brook's gentle whisper There blooms the lily Her secrets she won't muster Clad in moonlight Soft petals stage a dance In the valley deep Where ancient spirits prance [Verse 2] She stands alone A sentinel in the glen Guarding stories lost Of women and of men Through the mists of dawn Through the silken haze She weaves a silent tale of forgotten yesterdays [Chorus] Oh Lily of the Valley Your heart a hidden lore In your fragile bloom I find a love to adore With each passing season Your beauty casts a spell Your whispers to the wind Tales only you can tell [Verse 3] Echoes from the hills The bagpipes' mournful strain Play the dirge of time In their sweet refrain From the mossy stones To the forest floor Every leaf and root Knows the pain she bore [Verse 4] In summer's fleeting caress And winter's biting chill Through the turning of the age She's standing still From a time before the clocks When magic filled the air Lily of the Valley Untarnished and rare [Chorus] Oh Lily of the Valley Your heart a hidden lore In your fragile bloom I find a love to adore With each passing season Your beauty casts a spell Your whispers to the wind Tales only you can tell
