lyrics

Born under a blessed sign
You had powers to match
You could have come from a different time
A woman out of the past

You raised a family by yourself
and now they are fully grown
painted beauty never lasts
as the flowers you’ve sown

As the night and day converged
Flowers grew where you stood
Blood is thicker than the water’s fall
dew on your skin was red like blood.

The circle drawn glowed with fire
The night sky turned red
From solstice moon the magic flowed
And wrapped around your head

When I saw you / on the hillside /
You controlled / both the wind and rain
When I heard you / singing softly
I thought I’d never hear that song again

By the time that the caravans
came into view
You were dancing on your own
to the only song you knew

By the time that the caravans
came into view
You were dancing on your own
to the only song you knew

In the morning the mystery
Was what had transpired?
Nothing left but a memory
And a faint smell of fire

The dancing had to stop
And the crying started
What became of the broken mirror
In the land of the brokenhearted?
