Van morrison piper at the gates of dawn lyrics

The coolness of the riverbank, and the whispering of the reeds

Daybreak is not so very far away



Enchanted and spellbound, in the silence they lingered

And rowed the boat as the light grew steadily strong

And the birds were silent, as they listened for the heavenly music

And the river played the song



The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn

The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn



The song dream happened and the cloven hoofed piper

Played in that holy ground where they felt the awe and wonder

And they all were unafraid of the great god Pan



And the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn

The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn



When the vision vanished they heard a choir of birds singing

In the heavenly silence between the trance and the reeds

And they stood upon the lawn and listened to the silence



Of the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn

The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn

The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn



It's the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn

The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
