Now is the great day My long dress is ready I'm gathering wild flowers And adorning my hair Splashing myself with rose water If I could reach this shining Cold River Pain would stay away for ever I close my eyes As I'm twirling on the grass Dew's tickling my bare feet I know they're waiting for me For choruses have melt into one Walking, my voice joins my kinsmen's They're leading me to this shining Cold River Pain could stay away for ever Together we're crossing the shining Cold River Pain could stay away for ever Now, I've found this shining Cold River Pain will stay away for ever
