It was up North, Between the Valley |
|
It was up North, between the valley in a little town, well, city, whatever you want to call ye That the moon and stars all settled on night, Thru crisp cool air, and sky so bright. Come night fall the Lad was settled in, from a day of strugglin' and fightin' pain; His eyes, they rested, but his soul was tired, but inside his spirit still fought, like fire! For the Lad though ill, he struggled to live, and each night and day, he'd pray, to Lord for strength to give... His maiden though tired and wiery, she loved him so, and carried him with her, wherever they'd go Where one went, the other, also, by his side did go. Tis even in Dreams that the maiden saw For one night, she dreamed of God's precious law That though on earth, maybe no peace or rest was found one night she saw, as she slept in her gown... The promise of peace for those struggling and in dismay For in her dream, through dry tears she saw, a path to Heaven, with no earthly flaws On wings they traveled the path through sky there was no questioning, or wondering why For they saw their destiny in a Bright Crystal Light, A promise of Heaven, near Mansions' bright They traveled to the edge together, they flew and suddeny, the edge, was a boundry true For no further the maiden could go forth, as she felt her Lad, waiting at the door Twas many nights she dreamt of this, and each day she loved her lad, they kissed And held each moment softly still, So precious, together, pure love they'd feel Tis sad, the Love, the Struggle, they carried Yet she promised the Lad, when they got married That forever together, she'd be by his side Yet when she dreamed of the other side, she was mystified! For though she loved her Lad with heart, she knew she had to some day depart And give to God the man he gave to her The life, the love, they both endured. For in her dreams no struggles,nor pain escaped On the other side, near Heaven's gate She knew, if she loved him so, that someday to God, she'd have to let him go But he waited for her at the Heaven's door My love, I'll always be with you, and you with me, and in Heaven, One day... We'll be together, forever, Always. |
