Moondog - High on a Rocky Ledge - 1978


1 comentario:

  1. High on a rocky ledge lives a mädel, Edelweiß
    Shy as a shadow, lovely as lace, and cold as ice
    High on a rocky ledge, I pledge my love to her
    Ev'ry time I climb up to Paradise

    How many times I've been up to see her, goodness knows
    Huffing and puffing, dressed in the warmest climbing clothes
    How many chances would be taken in my
    Hopeless pursuit of the Schnee-Mädel-Edelweiß

    Then spoke a spirit, "If you would win your Lady Love
    There's only one way: fall to your death from high above
    You will begin to grow in snow beside the one
    You have waited for to be mated with"

    Now, I'm an Edel, vice to my Mädel, Edelweiß
    Dying to be with her wasn't any sacrifice
    We're so deliriously happy on our ledge
    Where I pledge my love to my Lady Fair
    You who are climbing breathless to see me and my love
    Snow flowers growing fonder on Lover's Ledge above
    If you've the yen to pluck, then pluck us both
    For we who have lived as one wish to die as one
