Walk me through the blindin' snow,
Take me where the sun won't go-o
Shallow waters never flow
Slowly to the sea
Walk me through the dry hot sand,
Steal my cup but fill my hand
Leave me where the valley can
Rock my soul back to sleep
Where the mighty winds lie still, ever silence on the hill
Cradled by the mountain til the Father welcomes me
And lay me down in the verdent green
At the breast of the mother spring
With a song that I can sing one that I can keep
Let me sleep
