You came with the cold
Painting the green mountains
With yellow and gold
The lakes trembled and swayed
Beneath your canoe
I peered through the pines
Watching you float by
This island of mine
The grass, tender and thin,
Lay heavy with dew

You called out to me
In a language I've known
Since before I could speak
Your voice echoed beside
The cries of the loons
I tried to reply
Til the hunger inside me
Brought tears to my eyes
Above, sallow and dim,
Hung the shell of the moon

Hand on my heart
Light in the dark
Bathe me in green and black
Fool that am I
I watched you pass by
And you're never coming back

I wait in the pines year after year
Hoping that someday
Your boat will appear
The lakes, tacet and grim
Grow bitter and cold
And bitted my hate, bitter my strife
Bitter the hard-hearted
Transience of life
I know nothing is gold
Nothing is gold, nothing is gold

Ah, but this hand on my heart
Light in the dark
Bathe me in green and black
Fool that am I
I watched you pass by
And you're never coming back
