We lived on, in a house upon a hill,
The light of the dawn shines in our window.
Look into the sky, it is so very far away
The forest, and the river.
There we'd just live on and on,
It's just that God did not deem it so
And so they lament from afar
The forest, and the river.
We lived there, heart to heart,
The day and the night were kind to us.
Just above us the stars are glowing,
Looking down upon the river.
Even in the distance the sky looked bluer,
It kept the doves there.
Elsewhere there's a fog, and here - the shores,
The forest and the river.
The light lingers at dawn,
I keep dreaming about that house upon a hill
Where the evenings you can see in the distance
The forest, and the river.
There, where we would only live and stay,
It's just that God did not deem it so
And so they lament from afar
The forest, and the river.
We would live there on and on,
It's just that God did not deem it so
And so they lament from afar
The forest, and the river.
The forest, and the river.
