Lawrence White - Alpenglow lyrics

Once upon a time a song was heard Giving birth to a child of Earth and verse Together we slay another fright Every jubjub bird, spooks of the past Close your eyes and take a peek The truth is easy to see [Chorus] We were here Roaming on the endless prairie Writing an endless story Building a Walden of our own We were here Grieving the saddened faces Conquering the darkest places Time to rest now and to finish the show And become the music, one with alpenglow Hand in hand, guiding me into light You, the fairytale guise in blue and white Together we slay another fright Every jubjub bird, spooks of the past Close your eyes and take a peek The truth is easy to see [Chorus] You are my path, my home, my star A beautiful tale within the tale And when the dust needs to move on I will tuck us in on a bed of snow Painting white, silencing the valley we built Together we'll sleep Devoured by life [Chorus] x 2
