Tall Treasures - America

Golden rings and hair tied with ribbon

Early spring when winter’s forgiven

Laughing past pleasures warm by the fire

Come inside

Silver vase, take a drink flower petal

Whistling songs like steam from the kettle

Carry silence like driftwood that rides

On the tide, on the tide, on the tide

Tall treasures, large as Alaska

There forever, never put out to pasture

Then the night will fall

Bringing peace to all

Darkness there together

Soft light bells and tea, draw the curtain

China cups, some shatter for certain

Laughin' past pleasures warm by the fire

Come inside

Tall treasures, large as Alaska

There forever, never put out to pasture

Red river runs here beside us

Grey morning will never divide us
