Wedding Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a bamboo tree that blooms only once in a hundred years
This is the year, your wedding year
And the bamboo blossoms just for you
For you the Columbine is blue
The paint brush flames upon the hills
For Allison and Denver John
A double sunrise lights the dawn
I've watched you blossom since you met
You've made a garden out of love
With splendid flowers and bowered paths
Where I am satisfied to walk
There was a thorn in Denver's side
That Allison has pruned and clipped
A sorrow Allison could hide
That Denver soothed and comforted
Each tending to the others need
Tears and smiles looked after now
The thorns and sorrows have their place
In proper balance, like the stars
You are both brave and beautiful
My brother, whom I've loved for life
And now a sister, newly mine
To love and treasure day and night
Home to the mountains, then, we come
To celebrate in unison
All peace, and pleasure, joy and bliss
To Denver John and Allison
Today for you the Columbine is blue
The paint brush flames upon the hills
For Allison and Denver John
A double sunrise lights the dawn
