Seven Falls Lyrics

Laura Veirs Seven Falls

Raised under rays of gold
And under sapphire skies
Out in the sandy loam
I found a way to make you cry
How can a child of the sun be so cold?

Up past the Seven Falls
Beyond the moody peak
I dove into the lake and called
An icy command for you to join me
How can a child of the sun be so cold?

So cold
Like a planet with no sun floats in the black
I'm old now
And I try to be kind but still sometimes
I'm as cold as that

Catamount, Ivywild
Many moons I've roamed
Dusty trails of summer
And my heart consumed with snow
How can a child of the sun be so cold?

So cold
Like a caveman they found on the frozen flats
I'm old now
And I try to be kind but still sometimes
I'm as cold as that
