The Silence Of The Dawn

You’re here at last. To me you were a stranger
A famous story people like to tell
They tried to paint your picture through the ages
Reality is different, here you are
 
We thought you were for sale, so highly useful
We wrote your name on banners for the war
We raised cathedrals almost into heaven
But you were always moving further down
 
You are a child abandoned in a shelter
You’ll freeze to death unless we get involved
You touch our aching bodies, fight for justice
And say to lovers taste my flowing wine.
 
You’re coming out of every empty graveyard
You are a wind announcing spring will come
A refugee returning through the mountains
Rebuilding what was broken in the war
 
You are a song we almost had forgotten
A story of a true life we betrayed
I hid the mirror,
now I look into it
And find your scares, your fire in my face
 
Come closer, stand by me,
it’s getting closer
And maybe light will grow again once more
Your light will see me through - I hear a blackbird
He’s singing in the silence of the dawn.
 

Neighbors and Friends

The fifteen years I've been waiting for 'im
and if he doesn't show up again I'll keep waiting anyway
if he doesn't show up again I'll keep waiting anyway
in'he rose
 
Yes neighbors and friends added their advice
how they would marry their daughter anyway
how they would marry their daughter anyway
in'he rose
 
Friday and Saturday they walked around
Sunday they had the holy day
Sunday they had the holy day
in'he rose
 
They drank for days, they drank for five
and the young bride didn't want to go to bed yet
the young bride didn't want to go to bed yet
in'he rose
 
So there came a lil stable-help
he was dressed in a blue kirtle
he was dressed in a blue kirtle
in'he rose
 
He spoke about a lost ship
with silken white flags, a golden rose
with silken white flags, a golden rose
in'he rose
 
She go and see the blue flags
she had sewn with her little fingers
she had sewn with her little fingers
in'he rose
 
Say to my dearest father
ask him to drink, I keep myself happy
ask him to drink, I keep myself happy
in'he rose
 
Say to my dear fiance
ask him to look and chose another
ask him to look and chose another
in'he rose
 
And the maiden she laid in the arms of the stable help
She didn't wake up until she was in the third kingdom
She didn't wake up until she was in the third kingdom
in'he rose
 

With Tears

With tears, I watch you
As you climb aboard
And as you sail off to sea
I have to walk alone
When the ship sails out from land
I'll never see you again
It would be difficult enough
If I saw you again
 
If I had never seen you
I would have lived free
My heart you took out of my chest
And my youth, as well
Who could transform you so
Who was to me so fair
I thought your heart was
Made from pure gold
 
I woke aged seventeen
When you asked me
And all my beautiful years
Hurry away from me
As vying currents run away
The years of youth disappear
And happy is the poor maiden
Who has such a man
 
And all of my small siblings
Wonder upon
How you who was so kind to me
Can disappear from memory
I'm surely not the only one
Who's drunk tears of sorrow
There must be many-a girl who has
In their younger years
 
Goodbye, farewell I bid you
To wherever you may sail
And sea and land, yes, faraway shores
Have given their content
But look for another lover
Who understand you better
Never smear them with falsehoods
The way you did to me
 

Where

Where d'you think the skies are bright
Girls are pretty
Hearts are light
Birds are singing day and night?
 
Where d'you find a life of ease
Green grass
And greener trees,
Gently waving in the breeze?
 
Where d'you think the bugs don't bite
And the work
Is quick and light?
Where's it hardly dark at night?
 
It's to the east of the waning moon
And to the west of the wide horizon,
North of where the sun goes down
And south of where it's rising.
 
But the winter's frost will come and go
Spring will follow
And melt the snow,
Frozen streams will start to flow.
 
Fields and trees no longer bare,
Forgotten warmth
Fills the air.
Life leaps from its winter lair.
 
Running round with nothing on,
The kids are playing
Their colds are gone.
Grandma's laughing in the sun.
 
It's to the east of the waning moon
And to the north of the wide horizon,
North of where the sun goes down
And south of where it's rising.
