Like moon on tide
forever waits
through the night
You find the way that's right
when wild winds blow
you guide me through
when wild winds blow
you guide me through

Grey Stone In The Wood

We came on this Lore, forever known
We came on this Lore, seven stones show
A hundred miles away, on ever shifting sand
A hundred miles away, storm takes land
Deep under waves, the white horse it rears
Ringing bells resound, of the foundered town
The music they make, in ocean water stirs
In moon tides we wait, with eyes that gaze
This dark sea rising, Leaves far below
This night wind roaring, Grey rock in the wood
All unknown remain, earth & hazel wood
Ever are the old ways, lost to the flood
We gathered on the old cliff tops, he rides the dawn
Once there was headland now seven stones show
This dark sea rising, leaves far below
This night wind roaring, grey rock in the wood
This dark sea rising, leaves far below
This night wind roaring, grey rock in the wood

Pathways

Beneath your feet the ground, pathways yours to tread
Stars like seeds of light pathways over head
Moon, silver light, ancient ever known
Listening for the things that no one ever knows
And all that comes into this world is sea and stars
All that comes into this world is never ours
All we've ever known is truth
All we've ever wanted is you
Only voices coming through
Only wind it speaks to you
All we've ever known is truth
All we've ever wanted is you
Only voices coming through
Only wind it speaks to you

Four Winds
06:59
|

Two roads cross, near branches blown
By winds that clear, a path, to be known
Offered in truth, your way, can be found
Begin to know, the way, four winds blow
Never shall I lower my eyes
Before this road I chose the light
Never shall I lower my eyes
Before this road I chose the light
Open to signs, distant thoughts, you may hold
Follow at will, enter in, release the old
Answers unfold, always change, never fear
This well worn path is real, and becomes ever near
Never shall I lower my eyes
Before this road I chose the light
Never shall I lower my eyes
Before this road I chose the light
Never shall I lower my eyes
Before this road I chose the light
Never shall I lower my eyes
Before this road I chose the light

The Turning
06:56

In need of rest the year dies
Come white light it will survive
Shadow and light be as one
Turning to the rising sun
Renewed awake beneath the ground
On the wind warmth to be found
Reaching out to ourselves
We sleep beside the hidden well
I am the stirring in the spring time
A glimpse in the Autumn wood
Winter I wait for the turning
In Litha light surrounds you
The sun is high above all else
The light of the shore returns
And with it Rule is done
Light is then reborn - To those that dwell
I am the stirring in the spring time
A glimpse in the Autumn wood
Winter I wait for the turning
In Litha light surrounds you
Hear the wind bring winters call, for the days now grow cold
Reap rewards in waining light, all that falls will rise
I am the stirring in the spring time
A glimpse in the Autumn wood
Winter I wait for the turning
In Litha light surrounds you

Amber Lights

Carry the light, from my house you’re gone for a long
Time on the ocean with your song
Carry the light, as you move with the sea
Amber lights always guide you home
Out of the wind I see the shore
I feel the light inside me pull
I feel it bind me to your soul
But time on the ocean is your call
I’ll raise the winds, Call on the waves, hear me now
I’ll raise the winds, Call on the waves, hear me now
Before dawn comes around, and storm hides sundown,
Come return to the ground, your home
Song of the land, voice on the wind
Amber lights always guide you home
I’ll raise the winds, Call on the waves, hear me now
I’ll raise the winds, Call on the waves, hear me now
Middle bit
Carry the light to weigh down Ithe night
Darkness gives over to moonlight
Storm hear the call, leave as you were
Amber lights always guide you home
I’ll raise the winds, Call on the waves, hear me now
I’ll raise the winds, Call on the waves, hear me now

The Hidden
07:16

Sitting under wood, alone but seen
Seen by the unseen, the gathering is here
A wind blows through the trees, sound of distant waves
Sunlight finds a way In the space between the leaves
Sitting in the presence of an ageless host
Speaks to me And ancient voices stir
On the wind, silent wings, soaring high
I drift away, with the shaman in my mind
Show me that which is hidden, and what it means to let go
Show me that which is hidden, and what it means to let go
The forest knows of dreams & hope, the earth remembers me
Returning from the light as the sun begins to fade
A wind blows through the trees, sound of distant waves
Moonlight finds a way In the space between the leaves
Show me that which is hidden, and what it means to let go
Show me that which is hidden, and what it means to let go

Thank you Rowan : Morrison. Ltd edition album arrived. The beautiful and personable packaging is matched by the beauty of the light and dark shades of music within. Open fire burning with wine on a winter's evening...fantastic.

Golden Strings to Tether the Sun

What an amazing album. Each track is pure gold - mystical auditory alchemy. It is almost impossible to pick a favorite track though the Bedlam Boys interpretation of the 1720 ballad, Mad Maudlin's Search for Her Tom of Bedlam, is utterly spellbinding.
