Wedding Song

Join hands

Lyrics

Rivers collect the strangest things
that ride their waters out to the sea
If love must wander then shepherds be
Join hands and walk to the water

the storms of winter blow cold and mean
and rend the bank relentlessly
if love must weather then shelter be
join hands and walk through the water

the fields and forests must surely end
and the mountains now will be hills again
if love must age then grow old with me
join hands and walk through the water

earth loved the ocean when she was young
and they filled the land with their muddy sons

so put away the childish things
and pick up the future its blue and green
and brighter than anything else you've seen
join hands and walk to the water

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.Conorl 20:51, 8 February 2009 (PST)

I concur fully. I remember the first time I heard this, I couldn't believe someone I knew wrote it. And I'm a real snob about such things, clearly. This is a very special song, for lots of reasons, and one of them is that it's just spectacularly written. Well played, my friend. Gabemcelwain 11:17, 9 February 2009 (PST)
