River and Dale

[Verse 1] Through the wild, 'tween river and dale Watched by the sun humbled by hills Sleep is mercy though I've a ways 'till I'm beggin' [Verse 2] Color me grateful for the horizon of day The breath that I've won and the courage it takes To find closure in the wake of disaster Oh, to find saviors in the way of the water [Chorus 1] Steady [Steady, Steady] Steady as a storm But lo' an ever-present home [Verse 3] Through the shadows Beyond the gun-whale The safety aboard A vessel propelled By my own will Drifting away from the danger [Verse 4] Under the willows 'tween The sheen of the dew Some laugh at the wind [??] Oh, some cry to their makers Listenin' to them for an answer Draggin' the river Always an urge for a wager [Chorus 1] Steady [Steady, Steady] Steady as a storm But lo' an ever-present home [Chorus 2] Steady [Steady, Steady] To feel the skin and know The journey's worth its weight in gold [Yeah!] [Bridge] So, got me to the open sea With fair-winds following In pursuit of wonder To leave me [Chorus 1] Steady [Steady, Steady] Steady as a storm But lo' an ever-present home [Chorus 2] Steady [Steady, Steady] To feel the skin and know The journey's worth its weight in gold
