Ellie, let your hair fall down

Ellie, let your hair fall down

Ellie, let your hair fall down
Down upon your honey-coloured skin
O sing to me that river song that you sing
Ellie, let your hair fall down

What is your desire this golden day?
If you want to dance then I can play
And if you want to sing, then I would hush the breeze
What is your desire this golden day?

Oh-hoh… hoh-hoh-hoh… ho-ho
Oh-ho… oh-ho… oh-ho

The river is flowing
Flowing & growing
The river is flowing down to the sea
Mother earth carry me
Your child I will always be
Mother earth carry me
Down to the sea

Ellie, let me help you pick the fruit
Apricots & apples in your garden
Healing herbs you gather in your apron
Here let me help you pick the fruit

So, Ellie let you hair fall down
Golden on your pillows in the moonlight
Sing me that song about the star of Bethlehem
Ellie let you hair fall down

Oh-hoh… hoh-hoh-hoh… ho-ho
Oh-ho… oh-hoh… oh-ho

Follow, follow, follow the star
Follow, follow, follow your heart

Oh-hoh… hoh-hoh-hoh… ho-ho
Oh-ho… oh-ho… oh-ho

Ellie, shall we go up to the hill?
Shall we go up to the mountain to pray?
We could climb up to the top of the great grand-father peak
Shall we go up to the mountain to pray?

Ellie, let you hair fall down
Let it flow like a mermaid’s in the reeds
Ellie, let you hair fall down
Let it blow like the wind in the trees

Oh-hoh… hoh-hoh-hoh… ho-ho
Oh-ho… oh-ho… oh-ho

I pray for help to do Thy will
I pray for the grace to know, and to be still
I pray for the strength to carry on
I pray for all who dwell beneath the sun

Oh-hoh… hoh-hoh-hoh… ho-ho
Oh-ho… oh-ho… oh-ho

Oh-hoh… hoh-hoh-hoh… ho-ho
Oh-ho… oh-ho… oh-ho
