The green moss grows beside the silver stream
The silent valley holds an ancient dream
I see the traces where the shadows tread
And walk along the path where magic led
A hidden doorway opens in the stone
Where soft forgotten echoes sing alone
This quiet emerald glen can hold my heart so still
Below the misty peaks and frozen hill
No bitter storm of life can touch this space
A slow and steady warmth upon my face
I hear the gentle whispers that the ferns display
The rustic secrets from a distant day
The traditional Irish harp can play a theme
To guide my heavy soul into a dream
A hidden doorway opens in the stone
Where soft forgotten echoes sing alone
This quiet emerald glen can hold my heart so still
Below the misty peaks and frozen hill
No bitter storm of life can touch this space
A slow and steady warmth upon my face
The low and tender fiddle breathes a sigh
While deep and misty flutes can make the sadness die
There is no need to hurry now for flame
The universe is quiet and it calls my name
This quiet emerald glen can hold my heart so still
Below the misty peaks and frozen hill
No bitter storm of life can touch this space
A slow and steady warmth upon my face
The valley fog enwraps me warm and kind
The beautiful eternity I longed to find
It stays until the dawn
