Her performance with the footage from the 1972 motion Picture 'Silent Running'

Earth between my toes and a flower in my hair
That's what I was wearing when we lay, among the ferns.
Earth between my toes and a flower I will wear when he returns.

Wind upon his face and my fingers in his hair
That's what he was wearing when we lay, beneath the sky.
Wind upon his face and my love he will wear when swallows fly.

Tears of sorrow running deep
Running silent in my sleep
Running silent in my sleep.

    This is the movie Bruce Dern will be remembered for, people.
  • I saw this movie when I was eight(1978) 9 O'clock tv special. I cried and never forgot how much the movie moved me as a child. I saw the movie in the video store a couple years ago and I figured it would be cool to watch again after 30 years. Well I cried again. I guess some things never change no matter how old you are and how much time has passed.
  • saw this in the theatre in '72 in Pico Rivera Ca. as an 8-year-old and, like so many other 7 and 8 year olds, was deeply touched by this movie. Now we're all almost 60 and let's all be honest, we never really got over this movie

    I saw this movie with my first girl friend in 1978, I never forget the music and my girl friend.
  • 5 years later, I would meet the first woman I fell in love with. I hear this song and think of her. You were gone far too soon, Beth.

    懐かしくて胸が締め付けられます。中学生の時深夜放送で観て、翌日友達と夢中になって話しました。大好きで切なくて、後の「天空の城ラピュタ」や「ウォーリー」はすぐコレだと分りました。やっぱりコレが偉大です
  • so many 50-somethings walking around (like me) who saw this in the theatres in 1972 as 7 and 8-year-olds and never got over it. if this movie doesn't grip you, you can never understand us

    A beautiful film complimented by an equally beautiful soundtrack.

    Im 62 years old and have loved music ever since I could remember listening to it, and I tell you I have never heard a voice as pure in its measure as that belonging to this woman.

    My best film of all time!!..bar none! Bruce Dern is an excellent actor!
  • @ghostmanlostsoul
    Joans singing is heart warming, yes it dates the film but in a charming way. I would not have done it any different.
  • @bennyhilla2558
