lyrics

There's a message from the window cill
where you sit there and you're sitting still
and green grows up the vine
and flowers take their time

There's a message and it's coming through
the coming of the morning to...
You can hear it in the whispering
of the bird song sing

Be still dear one
let the seasons go and let the rivers run
and be still dear one
and you'll know

And youre sitting there
you hold your hands and roll your hair
and you'll come back to there
time and time again

to watch the animals
to watch the rise and fall
of days and evenings and it all
as it comes in

Be still dear one
let the seasons go and let the rivers run
and be still dear one
and you'll know

So teach your children well
and may your love the ringing bell
sound in stories that you tell
to them as they grow

Cause they'll come back to here
through the seasons through the years
back from joy and back in tears
to come back to your care

Be still dear one
let the seasons go and let the rivers run
and be still dear one
and you'll know

Be still dear one
let the seasons go and let the rivers run
and be still dear one
and you'll know

Be still dear one
let the seasons go and let the flowers come
and be still dear one
and you'll know
that Spring will come
