In the valley With no mountain Where a river hides It's all quiet It's all silent Wet and fresh After the rain
In the woods Where I know Every leaf Every thorn Where I saw In her eyes All the shades Of the dawn
Here I am In the glade Where the grass Was so tender Here she comes In the haze Hovering among the trees
In the valley With no mountain Where a river hides At this time Of the year Life is at work Once again Swarming on Every rock Sweeping in Under the green Welling up From the ground As soon as It gets warmer
In the valley With no mountain Where a river hides
The river There below Quiet and gentle Making no sound The river Where she drowned Where her body Could never be Found
When I'm as quiet As I must be She strikes up A song for me With her voice Crystal clear A song No one else can hear
In the valley With no mountain Where death took her life Every leaf Every reed Spreads her song Into the woods She's so close She's so far And my heart is beating low Something make me want to join her In her sleep I cannot share
In the valley With no mountain Where a river hides In the valley With no mountain Where a river hides
The river There below Quiet and gentle Making no sound The river Where she drowned Where her body Could never be Found
