Lyrics

The moon fell through the river's heart We watched it disappear We wished upon a northern star And prayed for better years As the starlight in his grey-green eyes Began to dance and swirl And the colors changed with every glance Like mother of pearl Through those long November evenings We kept each other warm Time rolled on so gently Like a rosebud in a storm Making love there in the lantern light I watched his wild eyes swirl And I was mesmerized by Mother of pearl Mother of pearl, father of time The smell of the wood smoke The taste of the wine Let me tell you of enchantment As the northern lights did swirl And his gentle eyes shone softly like Mother of pearl I rode away against the wind I cursed the winter rain I prayed my trail would circle back To that northern town again For I've not seen his measure All across this troubled world And those grey-green eyes still haunt me like Mother of pearl Mother of pearl, father of time The smell of the wood smoke The taste of the wine Let me tell you of enchantment As the northern lights did swirl And his gentle eyes shone softly like Mother of pearl His gentle eyes shone softly like Mother of pearl
