high on a rocky ledge - moondog lyrics

high on a rocky ledge lives a mädel, edelweiß.
she has a shadow, lovely as lace, and cold as ice.
high on a rocky ledge, i pledged my ove to her.
ev´ry time i climb up to paradise.
how many times i´ve been up to see her, goodness knows,
huffing and puffing, dressed in the warmest climbing
clothes.
how many dabces would be taken in my hopeless pursuit of
the schnee-mädel-edelweiß.
then spoke a spirit, “if you would win your lady love,
there´s only one way: fall to your death from high above.
you will begin to grow in snow beside the one you have
waited for to be mated with.” now, i´m an edel, vice to
my mädel, edelweiß.
dying to be with her wasn´t any sacrifice.
we´re so deliriously happy on your ledge where i pledge
my love to my lady fair.
you who are climbing breathless to see me and my love.
snow flowers growing fonder on lover´s ledge above.
if you´ve the yen to pluck, then pluck us both, for we
who have lived as one, wish to die as one.
