Píseň: Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Interpret:
Van Morrison
Album:
The Healing Game
The coolness of the riverbank, and the whispering of the reeds
Daybreak is not so very far away


Enchanted and spellbound, in the silence they lingered
And rowed the boat as the light grew steadily strong
And the birds were silent, as they listened for the heavenly music
And the river played the song


The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn


The song dream happened and the cloven hoofed piper
Played in that holy ground where they felt the awe and wonder
And they all were unafraid of the great god Pan


And the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn


When the vision vanished they heard a choir of birds singing
In the heavenly silence between the trance and the reeds
And they stood upon the lawn and listened to the silence


Of the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn


It's the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
