johnny flynn & robert macfarlane - river, mountain and love lyrics

[verse 1]
let me tell you the story of river and mountain and love
well river spoke starlight and dance with the cosmos in motion
dew dappled grass blades bent low to the river
kissing the cuckoo sang soft to the river
oh river spoke starlight and dance with the cosmos in motion

[verse 2]
and the banks of the river where small creatures hum in the sunlight
messages drift on the wings of the damselfly whisper
mountain is calling and singing his song
flow by me river flow down in all lifetimes long
oh messages drift on the wings of the damselfly whisper

[chorus]
for love’s long song is ours for the singing
love’s great story is ours to tell
bells set ringing and inset running

[verse 3]
and the river sang back to the heart in the splendour and glory
fed all the ferns who unfurl in the old love of spring
won’t you tumble and dance to the bluebell sea
won’t you melt them back down, won’t you come home with me
river fed all the ferns who unfurl in the old love of spring
[verse 4]
and the mountain smiled back, “now you’re teasing me river old friend”
river replied with a lark and the ripple and went
for a separate they were they were one through all time
many ice ages known since their forms were combined
oh river replied with a lark and the ripple and went

[chorus]
for love’s long song is ours for the singing
love’s great story is ours to tell
bells set ringing and inset running

[verse 5]
and the mountain knows river has rained from the peak to the gulliess
snowy embrace in its cloud drifting lurching and kissing
the river knows mountain has vessel and form
and a shape changed with ice sheets when both were reborn
and snowy embrace in its cloud drifting lurching and kissing

[chorus]
for love’s long song is ours for the singing
love’s great story is ours to tell
bells set ringing and inset running
love’s long song is ours for the singing
love’s great story is ours to tell
bells set ringing and inset running
