Where the White Lillies Sleep (The Opera)

Verse 1

White

The vines

Heavy with the bloom

Where the jasmine grows wild

Where the water runs silver and deep

Beneath the heavy branches

Beneath the ancient shade

We wander

We wait

Chorus

Flowing downstream

In the cool of the morning

Flowing downstream

Where the white lilies sleep

Flowing downstream

In the cool of the morning

Flowing downstream

Verse 2

Soft

Petals fall

Drifting through the air

Green leaves brush my skin

Warm wind pulling at the silk

Cold river current

Cold river stone

Watching

Waiting

I see the bright world

I see the clear sky

I see the dark bank

Chorus

Flowing downstream

In the cool of the morning

Flowing downstream

Where the white lilies sleep

Flowing downstream

In the cool of the morning

Flowing downstream

Bridge

Under the dome of the blue

Under the weight of the heat

Under the gaze of the sun

Listen

The birds call out

The birds call loud

The birds call home

Chorus

Flowing downstream

In the cool of the morning

Flowing downstream

Where the white lilies sleep

Flowing downstream

In the cool of the morning

Flowing downstream

Outro

Where the jasmine grows

Where the jasmine grows

Where the jasmine grows

In the morning

In the morning

Cold river

Silver water

Gone
