The Edge of the Light
05:12
|

the edge of the light is all we see
and all of her land, here with me
we reach with our eyes on fire
farewell to all light
the night coming down
where once day grew

dawn weaves a day
mid morrow and night
the more I could ever lay
in dawns early light
they only want us to stay
laid under leaf under branches
they only want us to stay
caught underneath, for the day
like a stone on the riverbed
laid on the ground
with moss for my pillowed head
and leaves for my bed
they only want us to stay
laid under leaf under branches
they only want us to stay
caught under leaf, for the day

The Queen of Owls

when the light is over
and the mist in the meadow is low
when the light is over
on the wind you will hear her call
her eyes see all, forever in time
her feathers soar, in the midnight sky
ever alone and ridden in night
her song to the moon will cry
from the field and forest eyes
as old as fire

The King Tide
06:35
|

for all on this tide
the ocean sighs
in grey ocean light
hear him call
all of his touch
and all of his kiss
is all that he owns
all that he owns
when the night wind comes
the yearn of king tide
in whispers the waves will call
salt weep to your eyes
and they’ll drown out your cries
there’s no sea witch
who’ll stand on the shore
so dark is the land
wind call, cruel storm
his charm on the sand
a bride in his hand
as the last good day goes
watch over the dawn
when the night wind blows
the yearn of king tide
in whispers the waves will call
salt weep to your eyes
and they’ll drown out your cries
call on the ocean bride
only reason is tithe
he has no rite
this time

Fast Wears The Night
05:35
|
|||
as darkness fills the western sky
and sleep, the twin of death, is nigh
what soothes the soul, at set of sun?
a pleasant thought, of duty done
when i will weave these words
in holier light I yearn
but only dark is here
fast wears the night
must the pastoral, night slumbers be
the shepherds by the eastern tree
broken & brief, with dreams that tell
of ravaged flock, and poisoned well
when I will weave these words
in holier light I yearn
but only dark is here
fast wears the night
be still my soul, fast wears the night
soon shall day dawn, in holier light
old faces, ancient hearts, be there
and well-known voices thrill the air

Birds of Passage
04:11
|

they gather in the setting sun
the cold has caught their wings, they turn
tomorrow's wind weighs heavy they know
they know
they sing above the autumn storm
and heed a call from far away
and wander on a western wave they know
they know
they were me, whose song is free
they were me, whose song is old
they never get old
ocean under tender skies
veiled in the fading light
drawn unto the eventide they roam
they know
they were me, whose song is free
they were me, whose song is old
they never get old
they gather in the setting sun
the cold has caught their wings, they turn
tomorrow's wind weighs heavy they know
they know
