Oh Sweet Longing Songtext
von Darrell Scott

I dreamed of you in a white dress and garlands
With llamas and golden to give you away
With Riesling and huckleberries gracing the table
Teaching the children to laugh and to pray
I grieved for you in the hills of Siena
I called out your name to the great North Sea
I reached for your hand in a snow field near Gardiner
My longing for you always brought me to me

Oh sweet longing
I drink from a cup that will never be filled
Oh sweet longing
I long for you now and I always will
Always will

From the foot of a redwood I looked up in wonder
From the side of a canyon in fresh fallen snow
On the bank of a mountain stream I heard you calling
I know I must follow wherever you go


Oh sweet longing
I drink from a cup that will never be filled
Oh sweet longing
I long for you now and I always will
Always will

I live in the hope you stir up inside me
Filling my heart and filling my eyes
Like a river love flows to the valley below me
I stand on a mountain and hear my own cries
I believe in old souls, I believe in forever
I believe that this moment is all we can see
I believe in the one who calls lovers forward
My longing for love always brings me to me

Oh sweet longing
I drink from a cup that′ll never be filled
Oh sweet longing
I long for you now and I always will
Always will
