Long time ago only yesterday
Girl fled to the river
Far from the stones being cast at her head
Still close to the place she nearly fell dead.
She picked up the rocks at her feet
Tossed them into the river
River displaced by the pattering of stone
Rose up to see the girl still and alone.
Gently he tossed a pebble back
The most beautiful pebble of light and black
Girl could not help but fall in love
With the soul of the river rising beneath and above.
It felt like forever
With pretty stones and pebbles
They built a New World
A bridge, a mountain, a fire rising bird!
She played too long
With the river buiding dreams
The hunter was not ready to lose what he owned
He set a trap and he dragged her back to his home.
The river heard as she screamed out in pain
He fled to the banks where he suddenly froze
Angry and scared she flung a sharp pebble like a knife
It shattered the ice and changed the river\'s course for the rest of his life.
Forlorn she would sneak back to her love
As often as she could
But she found a great wall had been built
Of pebbles, rocks, sand and silt.
She would lay behind the wall and cry
But that just made the river die
She would lay by the wall and believe
That one day her love he would receive.
One day a crack appeared in the wall
The river ran and touched her cheek
Waking her up and making her see
The cast away she had made of he.
She could not bear to know
The damage she had done
But still she could not leave
So she stays in torment waiting to unbelieve.
Long time ago only yesterday
Girl fled to the river
She lies listening by a wall of rocks
Waiting for the river to release the locks.
