Widdershins Song

His face has been touched with a ghost of a smile

He sang and his lips moved unhurriedly

His strained voice ran down and silent were all

Who sat 'round the table and widely

I put out the light but no sleep at night

And tune of my heart is perfectly right

I dreamed and I smiled and the song in my mind

Was happy and joyful and pleasant

The strained voice ran down as noise of the tide

Were silent both landlord and peasant

I put out the light but no sleep at night

And tune of my heart is perfectly right

He sang of the mountains and far-away skies

He sang of the land of no trouble

His strained voice ran up and withering winds

Were pretty and gentle and humble

I put out the light but no sleep at night

And tune of my heart is perfectly right

Dance peasant

Dance (it's) pleasant

Dance - put a

Noose around

Sing dummy

Shadow's coming

Sing - you're a-

mused with crowd

Dance landlord

Pawn on a board

Dance - on a

Hallow of rhyme

Sing dummy

Void is coming

Sing until the

End of time

My dream became wild and the song in my mind

Was misty and charming and calling

The strained voice ran up and we drifted again

To the land where long shadows are falling

I put out the light but no sleep at night

And tune of my heart is perfectly right

He stood up and sighed loud before the last song

And this one was wistful and grievous

His voice it has broke as he fell to the ground

He passed and elapsed and he left us

I put out the light but no sleep at night

And tune of my heart is perfectly right
