lyrics

Für Alise

She walks like a waterfall
Cascading, parading down a rocky wall
She’s the child of the roaring flood,
She walks among the waters and leaves her footprints in the mud

She moves with the gentle breeze
Her arms reach up to heaven and sway with the trees
She’s held the sun and kissed the sky,
And any day now she’s gonna learn to fly

When the sun goes down her eyes shine even brighter than the moon
She hears the sound of nighttime and she dances to the tune
There’s rhythm in the starlight and her smile sings along
She dances there in silence because everything’s a song
La da da da da….

She walks the line between earth and sky
She sits on the horizon and composes lullabies
She frolics in the woods and laughs with the rain
And in the still of dawn she hears the morning whispering her name

When the sun goes down her eyes shine even brighter than the moon
She hears the sound of nighttime and she dances to the tune
There’s rhythm in the starlight and her smile sings along
She dances there in silence because everything’s a song
La da da da da….
