Tall Treasures

Golden rings and hair tied with ribbon Early spring when winter's forgiven Laughing past pleasures warm by the fire Come inside Silver vase, take a drink flower petal Whistling songs like steam from the kettle Carry silence like driftwood that rides On the tide, on the tide, on the tide Tall treasures, large as Alaska There forever, never put out to pasture Then the night will fall Bringing peace to all Darkness there together Soft light bells and tea, draw the curtain China cups, some shatter for certain Laughin past pleasures warm by the fire Come inside Tall treasures, large as Alaska There forever, never put out to pasture Red river runs here beside us Grey morning will never divide us
