In the soft light a lady lay
By a vale in the woodland deep
With the sunshine's golden ray
Shinin' down on the river deep

Took my boat across the waves
With my hopes strong in my grasp
Might I see the silver in the rain
Might I be with you at last

Like faithful swallows they come
With a winter that's closin' in
When no wind no cold can numb
Like faithful swallows they come
'Til hear the silvery rain
Soft the lady lay
In vale and the moonlight lowlight dim
With the sunshine locked away
I'm climbing over the ridge so sleep

Heart set on her warm embrace
With my patience tight in grasp
Then I heard the silvery rain
Taken by the silvery rain
Taking in the silvery rain
Soft the lady lay

In the soft light a lady lay
By a vale in the woodland deep
With the sunshine's golden ray
Shinin' over the river deep

'Till I hear the heavenly rain
I keep running lines on mine
I keep running like a child
Soft the lady lay
In a vale and the moonlight lowlight dim
With the sunshine locked away
I'm climbing over the ridge so steep
Heart set on her warm embrace
With my patience tight in grasp
Then I heard the silvery rain
Taken by the silvery rain
Taking in the silvery rain
