Water flows from life
Night is a companion
For travelers full of light<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The moon shines cold and bright
Casting all its shadows
Through the sacred night<\/em>
It is sung over a shruti on the silver setting (C and G) and can be sung in one or two parts that overlap as this recording<\/a> illustrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
