Dm
I have risen in the darkened valley
The one who in my dreams of twilight did stand
         Bb         Am             G            Am
And I am off by the moonlight, the break of the morning
     Bb          Am             G   Am        Dm
I am leaving the mountains, the mountains so grand

  Dm           G      Bb         Am
I strayed to a place far from my home
   Dm          G          Bb      Am 
In search of a lover that I might adore
       Bb           Am             G         Am
And my heart it was aching for the forest so gentle
       Bb          Am       G      Am   [Riff 2]
And my longing for love was with me even more


    Dm         G         Bb            Am
And many's the coming I passed my eye over
    Dm         G         Bb       Am
And many's the moment of beauty beheld
     Bb             Am         G                Am
All sit with their smiles and eyes filled with laughter
    Bb          Am        G   Am      (Dm)
But sure in the end was myself waiting still

    Dm       G             Bb           Am
But when I returned to the forest I found you in
 Dm            G          Bb           Am
In valleys overcrowded by mountains so grand
      Bb              Am          G      Am
And I pray that God's angels will ever protect you
      Bb           Am        G     Am    [Riff 2]
And I pray to keep safe your little white hands


    Dm        G                 Bb              Am
And now I'm stationed where the wild waves are breaking
Dm            G               Bb           Am
Far from the forest which overlook back to stay
    Bb      Am            G          Am
But when I return it will be to my dear one
       Bb          Am             G   Am      (Dm)
Whom I left in the mountains, the mountains so grand
