January 99 Winning Folk Lyrics and Review

Crystal mountain lady,
Take my hand and sing your song.
Put away all but your fantasies,
I've been waiting far too long.
For you know I am a dreamer
And my heart is bound to stay.
We'll chase the colors of the night
Into the colors of day.

Daughter of the sunshine,
Let your love for me begin.
Like the chastened air of morning,
I have come to breathe it in.
For I've climbed your primal mountain
To escape the ceaseless pain.
And to see the world through mists of ice
That melt away to rain.

TWO-VERSE BRIDGE:
The mind of man is overcome
By quickly spreading fears,
That soon must change, by morning's light,
To rivers made of tears.
But now I see above it all
And sorrow disappears.
The mountains sing a lonely song
That no one ever hears.

For who is right and who is wrong?
And who decides our fate?
I've come to seek the answers here
Before it is too late.
The cost of living down below
Is much too high a rate.
Beyond that rise, I saw your cottage.
Now I open the gate.

Verse 3:
Maid of dreams of yesterday,
Where will you sleep tonight?
Come sit beside me near the fire
And melt away my fright.
For I'm just a mountain minstrel,
Come to sing a mountain song.
And the love I bring for you to keep
Will last your whole life long.

     Of the infinite ways for lyrics to express the emotion of love, Steve created one well off the beaten path  (and man is that path beaten). This love song is delightfully different with just a hint of story, a sprinkle of artful inference,  just a touch of the medieval and a pinch of naturism. This recipe yields one very good song.

Really nice,  Steve , please, submit another!
