The 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…»
