lyrics

in the valley of the emerald sun
where the ruby river rolls
by the banks where the river bends
lie the waters of my home

dark is the night and cold is the storm
I dream a land so gentle and warm
where the sun don’t burn my eyes
salt don’t taint my tea
out past the emerald sun
beyond the crystal sea

I taste that bitter southwind feel the dust on my skin
every castle tall will fall and bleak to a battered ruin
the last words our captain wept before he
sailed into infinity
farewell to the emerald sun
so long to the crystal sea

this whole world of colors, lights and sounds and electricity
it’ll never be the same as home sweet home to me
merrily cried the mariner as he paddled out to the deep
farewell to the emerald sun and
so long to the crystal sea

many nights I spent there just
rollin’ in her arms
the green wood tumbling with glee
just laughing out my woes on honey-bottled mead
while the river rock me slowly to sleep

in the valley of the emerald sun
where the ruby river rolls
by the banks where the river bends
lie the waters of my home

Rooted both in the jamband resurgence of the 1990s and the original 1960s psychedelic rock revolution, their style encompasses many familiar jam tropes, executed and reimagined with an inspired, dauntless precision. ... more
