Scythe Song |
| I still remember when |
| I first watched him work the blade |
| It was down in the Buckney den |
| My questions tumbled and he said |
| Oh this is not a thing to learn inside a day |
| Stand closely by me and I’ll try to show the way |
| You’ve got to hold it right |
| Feel the distance to the ground |
| Move with a touch so light |
| Until it’s rhythm you have found |
| Then you’ll know what I know |
| Oh wild are the ways we run |
| When at last untethered out we fly |
| Straight into the burning sun |
| Need no direction, no, not I |
| But it is not a thing to learn inside a day |
| Stand closely by me and I’ll try to show the way |
| You’ve got to hold it right |
| Feel the distance to the ground |
| Move with a touch so light |
| Until it’s rhythm you have found |
| Then you’ll know what I know |
| So, little dancing girl |
| You want to play a tune |
| One that your heart can fill |
| To help you shine under the moon |
| Well, it is not a thing to learn inside a day |
| Stand closely by me and I’ll try to show the way |
| You’ve got to hold it right |
| Feel the distance to the ground |
| Move with a touch so light |
| Until it’s rhythm you have found |
| Then you’ll know what I know |
| Then you’ll know what I know |
