Ever long and away from here
In a secret Galilee
Where a silver river runs

Through the heart of Bethany

It was there we shared a love so rare

And it burned me as a flame

[Chorus]

And there she remains
There she remains


Where I found her in golden glow
Under breaking dawn
I would swear she's the fairest thing

That e're the sun shone on

She would sing to me under sighing trees

Like a thorn driven deep

[Chorus]

There she remains
There she remains
There she remains

There she remains

I loved you with sweet words

Every one I hoped would be true
Your love rose like a bird
From the very of heart of you


So do dead men still rise again
Does Jesus weep for me

Still do silver rivers flow
From the heart of Bethany


She was in a sense torn from me
Like a thorn driven deep


[Chorus]
Still she remains
Still she remains


And she lingers in memory
Like a dying summer rain

And it rises within me
Like a sudden rush of pain


Oh and love, will she, relentlessly
For the broken ones and the meek


Nevermore for me
Nevermore for me
