Seven Falls - Laura Veirs

Raised under rays of gold

And under sapphire skies

Out in the sandy loam

I found a way to make you cry

How can a child of the sun be so cold?

Up past the Seven Falls

Beyond the moody peak

I dove into the lake and called

An icy command for you to join me

How can a child of the sun be so cold?

So cold

Like a planet with no sun floats in the black

I’m old now

And I try to be kind but still sometimes

I’m as cold as that

Catamount, Ivywild

Many moons I’ve roamed

Dusty trails of summer

And my heart consumed with snow

How can a child of the sun be so cold?

So cold

Like a caveman they found on the frozen flats

I’m old now

And I try to be kind but still sometimes

I’m as cold as that
