lyrics

Away with the Leanan Sídhe

How frozen that smile
Sad poet, let me dry
That stream of salty sorrow

Rest in an all-embracing promise
Of yesterday
Until we meet again
Between the worlds
Like last autumn's leaves
Within a winter memory

The gates of mind are closing in on you
Dance with me 
Through the fields of never ending Ice
Where nothing lives and nothing dies
The die is cast
How frozen that smile
Sad poet, let me escape that gaze of solitude

Mirror, reflection of our masquerade
My thirst, your lie
My thoughts, your words
Into this door to everwinter
Forget me not, sad souls, when I devour you
That key of ice melting away inside my hand
Into a dark lake
Where the streams of your life end
A tear of ice inside my hand

Rest now on your bed of ruby snow
So beautiful, so pale, so pale
You tasted of sweet summer berries
And I, I drank it all
You tasted of sweet summer berries
And I, I drank it all

(Selkie Anderson 2009)
