"Living Water" lyrics

"Living Water"

Living water healing spirit
Life flows from these soothing rivers
When you're plagued and feeling thirsty
When life stings and shows no mercy
Here you'll always find relief

The little spring down by the hillside
Does its best to feed the well
She maintains a steady warmth for
Mildness is her greatest virtue

She surrounds herself with young moss
Soft, dewy, lush and green
Far away from evil powers
Poison, greed and bad intention

Like the blue-eyed mountain queen
When cold descends she will not freeze

Living water healing spirit
Life flows from these soothing rivers
When you're plagued and feeling thirsty
When life stings and shows no mercy
Here you'll always find relief

She surrounds herself with young moss
Soft, dewy, lush and green
Far away from evil powers
Poison, greed and bad intention

Like the blue-eyed mountain queen
When cold descends she will not freeze

Living water healing spirit
Life flows from these soothing rivers
When you're plagued and feeling thirsty
When life stings and shows no mercy

Living water healing spirit
Life flows from these soothing rivers
When you're plagued and feeling thirsty
When life stings and shows no mercy
Here you'll always find relief

'Living Water' is based on a poem by Ásgeir's father, Einar Georg Einarsson. Ásgeir explained, "I've always been fascinated with how my father writes, and I probably started using his lyrics when I was about 12 or 13. With 'Living Water' I was singing it in my head as I was reading the poetry book, and this lyric popped out because it just fitted."
