At Dawn She Comes: River Mint Woman

River Mint Woman

River Mint Woman…
Sing like the water
Misty whispers… in your hair
Dark as chasms… deep in the caverns
Pale as the bones… that the sun bleached bare

Gold on gold
Naked in the wheat field
Grinding a sand stone in your hand
Almost dry but the water’s still calling
On our way to a honey copper tan

River Mint Woman…
Sing like the water
Misty whispers… in your hair
Dark as chasms… deep in the caverns
Pale as the bones… that the sun bleached bare

Cool mountain blood
Ever refreshing
You swim like an otter, playful and fair
Kissed you twice but still there’s a calling
See you tonight where the moon won’t glare

River Mint Woman…
Sing like the water
Misty whispers… in your hair
Dark as chasms… deep in the caverns
Pale as the bones… that the sun bleached bare
