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 deam 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
