elinor remick warren - if you have forgotten lyrics

if you have forgotten water lilies floating
on a dark lake among mountains in the afternoon shade
if you have forgotten their wet, sleepy fragrance
then you can return and not be afraid

but if you remember, then turn away forever
to the plains and the prairies where pools are far apart
there you will not come at dusk on closing water lilies
and the shadow of mountains will not fall on your heart
