Song of the Bow Songtext
von Sally Oldfield

Mama told me never go walking
Down by the wide and laughing water!
You may see him with his bow and arrow
He′s seeking for the heart of the river daughter!
He's seeking for the heart of the river daughter!


Darkness is falling and the wild things are calling
The flames of the fire-flies are burning
Down among the trees, oh! Won′t you be a man to me!
The earth for the Sun it is yearning!
The earth for the Sun it is yearning!
Mama told me: Never go walking
Down by the wide and laughing water!
You may see him with his bow and arrow
He's seeking for the heart of the river daughter!
He's seeking for the heart of the river daughter!

There′s a sound of a balalaika
Coming through the trees!
Somewhere in the shadow you′re waiting!
Man of the earth oh! I'm down on my knees
I wanna taste the fire and honey you′re making!
I wanna taste the fire and honey you're making!
I wanna taste the fire and honey!
Taste the fire and honey!
I wanna taste the fire and honey!
Wanna taste the fire and honey!

Love me now the night is still
And the wind cries: You′d better drink your fill
While the fire and ice and honey's still flowing!
