I met a man with a one eyed pet crow
he had a dog he’d trained to talk
he kept a goldfish in his hat
his smile was marigolds
I asked him how he lived?
he said I drink the dew from the fields
nature is my bread and wine
nature is my concubine
the sacred maiden
I tell her my secrets and she shows me how to survive
now many years have passed but I often think about that man
as I sit by this desk of stone
worry fills one half of my days
trouble fills the other half

my horse was a very fine horse
my horse was a very fine horse
with mane of blossom and snow
we rode through the town with not a care in the world
we plunged through the emerald stream
in a world before the motorways came
we would go to the orchard deep
to fill our baskets with stolen apples
horsey horsey
I wont forget you

The Visitor

a fox appeared at my window
a fox appeared at my door
it said come with me
to the apple green sea
a fox appeared in my bedroom
a fox appeared in the candle flame
it said come with me
we can dance on the ruby red shore
it said it knew my name
but I was young and afraid
a fox appeared at my window
it said come with me to the bottle green sea

one day I stood in the supermarket
a fire burned in my head
so I went to the wood and I drank the moss
but the fire continued to burn
poor tom poor tom
where has he gone?
he sings by the side of the rambling shore
where the stars eat the moon and the sun
I passed the workhouse on the hill
where the birds never sing
I passed the mill that grinds the corn
I sat by the side of the stream
my aching bones were full of light
what was happening to me
I sang by the side of the rambling shore
where the stars eat the moon and the sea

Stalk of Corn

the fox and the wren meet by the well
the woman with red hair
pinched a stalk of corn
and the summer was gone

all day in the town
I sweep my broom
swish swish
all night in the dark
I sweep my broom
swish swish
keep the stars bright
keep the road clean
swish swish
