lyrics

I saw the blue deer leap into the sky
I heard the craw with a red laugh building its kirk

I spoke with the toad who was King of the mossy bank
inside his mouth was the door to the golden mountain

I lay with the gorse Queen underneath the yellow flood
she had the green snake wrapped around her wrist

the skull of the thrush wears the daffodil on its silence
at the top of the hill is where the whalebones cross the entrance

the bees begin to dance and the fox prince beats his drum
I emerge from the mouth of the toad

sorrow is washed from the land
a larks wing is lifting the sun to kiss the towers of blood

I saw the blue deer leap into the sky
