lyrics

The smallest creature ever seen
Little troll so sad and grey
He sat upon his house of stone
And dreamt about the world beyond

“I wish someone could take me away”

The Northern wind one autumn day
Came flying by his windowpane
“Oh Northern wind, oh help me please,
I’m stuck here in this stony heap!”

And she whirled around as she said:

Come, follow me
To where the river meets the sea
Come fly with me
Over mountains and valleys
Where the Ancient is present
In the very air you breathe
As we dance in the flower fields

They fly together ever since
The little troll upon her wings
And so forever since that day
The north wind bears a streak of grey

And she whirled around as she said...

Come, follow me
To where the river meets the sea
Come fly with me
Over mountains and valleys
Where the Ancient is present
In the very air you breathe
I can show you lands
where the summer is never over
There we can visit on the vision of a dream
As we dance in the flower fields

Come, follow me to where the river meets the sea
Come fly…
