When the Fire is Dead in the Grate |
When the fire is dead in the grate |
Rake the ashes over |
Frozen closed, the black house gate |
The rain is coming on |
The storm cried hark to the tomb |
I was safe inside this room |
But when I was asleep: footprints in the ash |
One set were cloven hooves, the other set yours |
A white charm was bound around my neck |
As I stepped out I swear it turned coal black |
So I followed those tracks down to the sea |
There you lay asleep all covered in reeds |
Rise, rise |
In the waxing light |
You must take my place |
Run for home |
With your holly stave |
Gathering the fallen alder and yew |
When the fire… |
When the fire is dead in the grate |
Rake the ashes over |
Frozen closed, the black house gate |
The rain is coming on |
