Down the waterfall and I'd swim over the brim
It would be as flat as the world before Columbus
Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new
Every light that's bright would soon go dim
Who love those trinkets of desire, oh they never will have you
Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new
How could they weigh the worth of you so rare
All the trees would freeze in this cold ground
Sail to the edge and I'd be there looking down
It would be as dark as the world before Columbus
If your love were taken from me
And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair
That's the day that I lose half my sight
If your life were taken from me
Who love those trinkets of desire, oh they never will have you
It would be as cruel as the world before Columbus
And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair
