The Gray Havens
Music From a Garden
Back when they danced outside of time
Before the stars would rule the night
There was a Dove flew o'er the deep, deep water
And that's when he heard
The voice of the Lion start to speak
And then there was light

When the light hits the water, the colors shine
Oh, but which one do you choose to paint the sky
Blue was the one that won
But he shares it with the others in the evening and dawn

The rest of the colors were falling down
The water came together
And that's when they heard
The voice of the Lion name the ground

I'm still dancing to the music from a garden
That was so much brighter then
With the echoes from a long forgotten song
Escaping from my lungs within
And you can feel the movement through
The overture that's playing if you listen to the end
Because the Dove and the Composer will be dancing
When the Lion comes again
Cavernous empires of the sea
Up through the clouds
And on the green ground, green ground underneath, ohh
Citizens rise with the dawn
And that's when they heard
The voice of the Lion name the new son, new son

I'm still dancing to the music from a garden
That was so much brighter then
With the echoes from a long forgotten song
Escaping from my lungs within
And you can feel the movement through
The overture that's playing if you listen to the end
Because the Dove and the Composer will be dancing
When the Lion comes again

Blue was the one that won
But He shares it with the others in the evening and dawn
Blue was the one that won
But He shares it with the others in the evening and dawn
Blue was the one that won
But He shares it with the others, shares it with the others, ohh
Blue was the one that won
Blue was the one that won

Now I'll sing to the kingdom of beauty as it began
And I'll dance in its shadows until it comes again
I'm still dancing to the music from a garden
That was so much brighter then
With the echoes from a long forgotten song
Escaping from my lungs within
And you can feel the movement through
The overture that's playing if you listen to the end
Because the Dove and the Composer will be dancing
When the Lion comes again
Because the Dove and the Composer will be dancing
When the Lion comes again
