lyrics

Hush, hush the stirring dust traces spirals in a giddy rush
wearing weaves of fruit and leaves they come
with toes painted in gold leaf
that never touch the ground beneath they come

Sporting crowns of horns, some earned some born
shutters bang and branches creak
the journey here has left them weak
our offerings and tributes seek, to calm their weary state

Around, around then back and through
the needle’s path, now me and you
we glide these waters deep and true
To shimmer in their midst

They move like smoke from home to home
the decorations of flowers and bones
do lend them strength
the love they’ve shown returned

Their ancient hands now open wide
rain down the blessings held inside
here, take my hand I’ll act as guide
as we weave these mythic tides

Around, around then back again
the needle’s path, just us my friend
we glide these waters true and deep
an ancient promise still we keep

They come from before Time was born
a fever pitched imagination storm
given birth from need with love adorned
they enter our mind’s fray

The answered cries and power lent
to many they were Heaven sent
but the way was corrupted and bent
now mere echoes past

Around, around then back and through
the needle’s path tells what to do
we glide these waters deep and true
to speak to those remaining few

Throughout the years as we progressed
and needed their help less and less
to take their leave they thought it best
and returned to haunts beyond

This time of year sends out a call
the days grow short as leaves do fall
a few here still remember, though numbers small
the old ways and their teachings

Around, around just one more time
the needle’s path stitches this rhyme
we glide these waters deep and true
a secret shared between me and you

So, carve the pumpkin’s scary face
and offer flowers in a hidden place
take long walks through crunching leaves
but throw bread crusts to shadow thieves
remember there is more to here than you can touch or see

Between each thought and breath and deed
they dance and plot and intercede
both sides sharing the same need
to convince the other to believe.
