Slumbering Man Lyrics

Where the willow goes

Roots crawling under my skin

While the zephyr blows

Tossing and turning again

Tossing and turning again

While the breeze blew softly you slept through the years

And young hearts went bankrupt from borrowing tears

And the lake dried to nothing, where life had once sprung

The old were once young

The old, once, were young

As the river flows

And runs 'til it finally ebbs

And the ivy grows

Blankets of silvery webs

As the creek flowed through you slept well past the war

And children asked what you were slumbering for

And in time they forgot you, asleep and alone

Unseen and unknown, unseen and unknown
