In the soft light a lady lay By a vale in the woodland deep With the sunshine's golden ray Shinin' down on the river deep Took my boat across the waves With my hopes strong in my grasp Might I see the silver in the rain Might I be with you at last Like faithful swallows they come With a winter that's closin' in When no wind no cold can numb Like faithful swallows they come 'Til hear the silvery rain Pulling me into their line Soft the lady lay In vale and the moonlight lowlight dim With the sunshine locked away I'm climbing over the ridge so steep Heart set on her warm embrace With my patience tight in grasp Then I heard the silvery rain Taken by the silvery rain Taking in the silvery rain Soft the lady lay In the soft light a lady lay By a vale in the woodland deep With the sunshine's golden ray Shinin' over the river deep 'Till I hear the heavenly rain I keep running lines on mine I keep running like a child Soft the lady lay In a vale and the moonlight lowlight dim With the sunshine locked away I'm climbing over the ridge so steep Heart set on her warm embrace With my patience tight in grasp Then I heard the silvery rain Taken by the silvery rain Taking in the silvery rain
