Hermit Of Misty Mountain

I went to a Hermit of Misty Mountain who lives in a cave above And I asked this wise old man Oh, Mr Hermit, what is a love He said, Love is a boat that sails to heaven on a river that has no end It's a magic carpet to the Valley of Dreams that's a love my friend So I asked this Hermit of a Misty Mountain who lives where the cold winds blow If I find this thing called love oh, Mr Hermit, how will I know He said, You'll see the Sun when it isn't shining and the stars when they don't glow and you'll hear songs when there ain't no singing that's a-how you'll know So I said to a Hermit of Misty Mountain before these things are thru When I find this thing called love oh, Mr Hermit, what do I do He said, Treasure this love much more than gold and care for it tenderly Or you'll be a Hermit on a Misty Mountain A fool like me A fool like me Aaaw, you'll be a fool like me A fool like me
