Forest Child

Avanna, Miriam, Sweet Ann:
I am Forest Child, born in deep earth
I am star, I am stone
I am free, I fly alone, Forest Child
I am Forest Child, riding the Wild Wind
Raised by the wolves, I know no fear
The forest is within me, Forest Child
Spread your wings, embrace the night
Fly on the Wild Wind
The power of Earth will feed your soul
Spread your wings, embrace the night
Fly on the Wild Wind
The power of Air will set you free
I am Forest Child, Spirit of the old Magic
I am hope, I am truth
I am a dream, lost in moonlight, Forest Child
I am Forest Child, Daughter of the trees
In their shadows, In their stillness
I am free, free to be, Forest Child
Spread your wings, embrace the night
Fly on the Wild Wind
The power of Earth will feed your soul
Spread your wings, embrace the night
Fly on the Wild Wind
The power of Air will set you free
Free to be Forest Child

Maypole Tree
03:59
|
|||
Miriam, Avanna:
A fair Maid walked out
On a fine Spring day
She met a jolly Tinker
Who to her did say
Chorus
Come dance with me, dance with me
Dance with me round the Maypole tree
Dance in the Moonlight
Dance in the Sun
Let the music play
Till the dance is done
Dance to the Lady
Your love and desire
Dance to the Lord
Of the Sacred Fire
A garland of flowers
I’ll wear as a crown
With bells on my feet
I will dance the tree round
(Chorus)
With ribbons of Gold
The Sun’s shining rays
And Green for the Lady
Dear Goddess we praise
(Chorus)
Come Jack in the Green
Come sweet Lady May
By oak, ash and thorn
Dance on this May Day
(Chorus)

Crow

Miriam:
Dark Angel
Black as Night
Spread your wings
Flee my Sight
Blooded Beak
Evil Eye
Leave the fallen
Where they lie
Father of the Omen
Keeper of the Lore
Feasting on the Battle slain
You rend by Beak and Claw
Messenger of War and Death
Trickster who betrays
Teller of the Future
And the Sage of Ancient Ways
Dark Angel
Black as Night
Spread your Wings
Flee my Sight

Sweet River Flow
04:44
|
|||
Avanna, Miriam:
Once was the time I could see so clearly
Knowing the way that my life would be
Living my dreams, no cares for tomorrow
Time passing by meant nothing to me
Chorus
Oh Sweet River Flow and carry me
Down from the Mountains and on to the Sea
Love passed me by and I didn’t notice
A whisper of promise just not meant to be
I danced alone to the song of the Sunrise
Each golden day a blessing to me
(Chorus)
Years come and go and my days grow weary
Moments forgotten return in my dreams
Warm summer days that went on for ever
Places and people in my life I’ve seen
(Chorus)

Song of Amergin
05:12
|
|||
Miriam:
I am the wind on the sea.
I am the ocean wave.
I am the raging torrent
I am the murmur of the brook.
I am the soaring hawk.
I am the gentle deer
I am the raging Boar
I am the salmon in the deep pool
Who knows the ages of the moon, who, if not I.
Who has been to where the sun sleeps, who, if not I
Who touches the stars and knows their song
Who, if not I.
I am the leveller of mountains
I am the ancient craft
I am the victor and fallen
I am the Awen that fires your mind
I am the dew in the sunlight.
I am the fairest of flowers.
I am the mightiest of trees
I am the meaning of the Earth Song.
Who knows the ages of the moon, who, if not I.
Who has been to where the sun sleeps, who, if not I
Who touches the stars and knows their song
Who, if not I.

The Flower Girl
03:44
|
|||
Miriam:
Chorus
Who will buy, sweet violets
Please kind Sir will you buy
Just a Penny for a posy
For your Lady oh will you buy
Pretty flowers they are fresh today
Then will fade away
Who will buy, who will buy today.
I work for my living, no charity for me
My parents are dead, which just leaves me
And my brothers and sisters
They all depend on me
I'm just a poor Flower Girl
As proud as can be.
(Chorus)
In black taffy bonnet and old tattered dress
No shoes on my feet, I've no time to rest
Selling my flowers from Stepney to the Dials
As fresh as the morning
As sweet as a smile
(Chorus)

Dryad
03:55
|
|||
Miriam, Sweet Ann:
Shy and gentle Dryads
Beloved by Artemis
You’ve guarded Oaken Groves
Since Times lost in the mists
You tend each branch and bough
And watched your trees grow tall
And mourn each fading leaf
As Autumn brings the fall
Chorus
In this Grove on Sacred Ground
We will dance the Circle round
We will dance the Circle round
You love each precious Acorn
As a Mother loves a Child
You teach them ancient Wisdom
And Stories of the Wild
And as they leave your loving care
And fall to Mother Earth
You cast a gentle Blessing
On this magical rebirth
(Chorus)
Dance with me sweet Dryads
Beneath the Oaken boughs
And Bless me as I pledge to you
My sacred Druid Vow
I swear by peace and love
No harm shall fall to thee
This Grove is Sacred Ground
And ever more will be
(Chorus)

Downtown Drifter
03:23
|
|||
Miriam, Avanna:
I don’t know where I’m going
But don’t wanna be where I’ve been
I’m just a Downtown Drifter
On the Freeway to my dreams
I’ve got the Sunrise in my pocket
I’ve got road dirt in my shoes
Nothing to lose ‘cept the Downtown Blues
I’m moving on
I’m leaving town it’s time to move on
The open road is where I belong
I don’t know where I’m going
But don’t wanna be where I’ve been
I’m just a Downtown Drifter
On the Freeway to my dreams
I’ve got the Sunrise in my pocket
I’ve got road dirt in my shoes
Nothing to lose ‘cept the Downtown Blues
I’m moving on
I’ve hung around in deadbeat towns
I’ve drunk a few beers watched the Sun go down
I’ve made some friends and had good times
But when you’re broke their gone
I’m just a Downtown Drifter
On the Freeway to my dreams
I’ve got the Sunrise in my pocket
I’ve got road dirt in my shoes
Nothing to lose ‘cept the Downtown Blues
I’m moving on
I’m just a Downtown Drifter
On the Freeway to my dreams
I’ve got the Sunrise in my pocket
I’ve got road dirt in my shoes
Nothing to lose ‘cept the Downtown Blues
I’m moving on
I’m just a Downtown Drifter
On the Freeway to my dreams
