lyrics

Rain rescues morning
Followed by the sun
And after all the red deer run
Silva stands alone

Reaching and rooting
Branching, holding on
She gathers diamonds on her own
And hangs them all a home

Rays are on the rise
Bring sap, unwrap and drink the prize
Silva's secret fit to burst
With the weight she bears to new birth

Watching Silva through this day
Spread the life for which she came
Shake and shine until she's gone
And winter arms take their bride along
Until winter arms take their bride along.
