Smith & Dragoman - Ridván lyrics

V1 Nightingales sing, a cry from the heart They yearn for the roses, warbling in the dark Journey to the garden, a King on the waves The nightingales rejoice, and sing out in praise V2 An exile with His sons, those sacred lives Twelve days they would stay, to say their goodbyes He walks out from His tent, and strolls through the night The Ridvan of the earth, the roses piled high Pre The world is longing, the heavens are calling Spirit is gathering force Chorus 1st voice Come with me oh my, oh my dearest friend Let me take you down to His garden Across the water of mystery to the shores of divinity Countless souls come to say good-bye They hear Him chanting under the night sky The words that fall from His, from His ancient tongue Oh a new springtime has come 2nd voice Lay me down to rest, in the garden of peace Where time stood still, I am down on my knees The ether flows all creation made new Behold the Ancient of Days V3 Hundreds would come to bid farewell Take comfort in His words, a tablet for everyone And listen to Him at night, under moonlit skies Chanting the verses, in the garden of paradise Pre-Chorus Chorus
