Lyrics: נתן אלתרמן
Music: נפתלי אלטר
So the tune lingers on
Though you cast it aside
And the way waits winding before you
And the cloud in her sky
And the rain through the pines
Wait only for you
As you ramble
So the wind it will rise,
And with a flash in the dark the skies crack with lightning above you
And the lamb and the doe
They both watched you go
Blindly down to the valley below you
When with empty hands
and miles from your home
Many times you’ve knelt at the altar
Of the grove painted green
And a girl’s smile you’ve seen
‘Neath the brow of a tree bending heavy with water
So the tune lingers on
Though you cast it aside
And the way waits winding before you
And the cloud in her sky
And the rain through the pines
Wait only for you
As you ramble
