"River And Dale" lyrics

"River And Dale"
(from "The Flame In The Flood" soundtrack)

Through the wild
'Tween river and dale
Watched by the sun
Humbled by hills
Sleep is mercy
Though I've a ways 'till I'm beggin'

Color me grateful for
The horizon of day
The breath that I've won
And the courage it takes
To find closure
In the wake of disaster
Oh, to find saviors
In the way of the water

Steady
(Steady, steady)
Steady as a storm
But lo' an ever-present home

Through the shadows
Beyond the gun-whale
The safety aboard
A vessel propelled
By my own will
Drifting away from the danger

Under the willows 'tween
The sheen of the dew
Some laugh at the wind [?]
Oh, some cry to their makers
Listenin' to them for an answer
Draggin' the river
Always an urge for a wager

Steady
(Steady, steady)
Steady as a storm
But lo' an ever-present home

Steady
(Steady, steady)
To feel the skin and know
The journey's worth its weight in gold

Yeah!

So, got me to the open sea
With fair-winds following
In pursuit of wonder
To leave me

Steady
(Steady, steady)
Steady as a storm
But lo' an ever-present home

Steady
(Steady, steady)
To feel the skin and know
The journey's worth its weight in gold
