Floating on the sparkling water<br>
Singing comes the River Daughter,<br>
Laughter and starlight in her eyes<br>
Magical gifts her sweet surprise.<br>
Music of the River Daughter<br>
Mingles with the rushing water.<br>
Wanderer rest your weary feet<br>
Step to the edge it's time to meet.<br>
Wisdom of the ancients beckons through her song<br>
Memories of another time<br>
Perfume clear like a fragrant wine.<br>
Kindling such a yearning that has slept so long<br>
Wakes the dream of a trusting heart<br>
Weaves the spell of enchanting art.<br>
Laughter of the River Daughter<br>
Tumbles over gleaming water<br>
Wisdom and moonlight on her face<br>
Movement so free and full of grace.<br>
Starlight shimmering on water<br>
Dancing with the River Daughter,<br>
Wanderer come and find release<br>
Playing within her realm at ease.<br>
Let yourself abandon to this magic night,<br>
Leave the firm soil of shore behind<br>
Join companions of your own kind.<br>
Swimming in the waters bathed in silver light,<br>
Gone the days when you had to roam<br>
River Daughter now calls you home,<br>
Now calls you home, now calls you home.</p>
