The Song Songtext
von John Greaves

Down in the shadow of a mountain
Crown of the mountain came avalanching down
All summer long we were stalking
What we came to call the song

The song was a kind of eruption
Mover of mountains, avalanche of grounds
When we were young, we sought the laws
We thought would cause the song

Life is a dream, we are phantoms
Man is the union of divinity and dust
All summer long when we were young
Before we′d sung the song

No mere machine made of music
Of words and music as other songs are
This was the song, a recipe, a remedy, a cure


The song would be sung on the border
Sung by us standing, straddling the line
Between two worlds unified only by the song

Life is a dream, we are phantoms
Man is the union of divinity and dust (Of divinity and dust)
All summer long when we were young
Before we'd sung the song

All summer long (All summer long)
When we were young (When we were young)
Before we′d sung the song (Before we'd sung the song)
All summer long (All summer long)
When we were young (When we were young)
Before we'd sung the song (Before we′d sung the song)
All summer long (All summer long)
When we were young (When we were young)
Before we′d sung the song (Before we'd sung the song)
