I wish I had a river to skate on
O that I had heard the silence
On the ice floats of the North Pole
In the spring of summertime
My neighbour begins to build
I wish I had peace to wait on
On the ice floats of the North Pole
Darkness now so slight delayed
I wish I had moved the hour on
To play the midnight play
I wish I had a river to skate on
My neighbour begins to build
To play the midnight play
Never since, and never yet
I wish I had peace to wait on
Nowhere else, and nowhere near
As we found where we belong
Nowhere else, and nowhere near
In the spring of summertime
Darkness now so slight delayed
I wish I had moved the hour on
Never since, and never yet
O that I had heard the silence
As we found where we belong
