On a clear day in the distanceYou can see her 'cross the bayShe's a sleeping, sleeping ladyAnd Susitna is her nameSparkling clear her deep brown eyes wereWarm as sunlight her golden skinShe was sworn to great DenaliStrong and true their love had beenAs they prepared to be newly weddedOn the shores of the Bering SeaThere came the thunder of far-off battleAnd brave Denali took his leaveNo bow and arrow, no kind of weaponNo arm of war did Denali bearJust a promise for his loverAnd a lock of her silken hairMy Susitna, close your eyes and sleepFor your love my heart will yearnAnd I'll be with you in your very dream'Til the moment I returnSo she lay down there, the very spot whereLetras de cancionesShe had vowed her love to himOverlooking the peaceful valleyWhere the promise had been givenAnd the moments turned to hoursAnd the hours into daysAnd the days turned into seasonStill she heard Denali sayMy Susitna, close your eyes and sleepFor your love my heart will yearnAnd I'll be with you in your very dream'Til the moment I returnNow every autumn with the sheddingOf the branches and the leavesOne more blanket for SusitnaOne more layer of her dreamsStill she'd wait there for his comingThough in battle he did fallAnd the coldest wind of winterBrings a lonely lover's callMy Susitna, close your eyes and sleepFor your love my heart will yearnAnd I'll be with you in your very dream'Til the moment I returnOn a clear day in the distanceYou can see her cross the bayNow we call her Mount SusitnaAnd she sleeps there to this dayAnd when the moon goes round from full to newThat's the blinking of her eyeShe is looking tot he northern landWhere the great Denali liesAnd when the river of that valley flowsTwo tall mountains far apartShare the memory of a time gone byAnd the spirit of one heart From Letras Mania
