In the Dreamtime

Music & lyrics, 1995
                                                

She has those eyes that leave you breathless
She has those moves that move me still
From Avalon
She brings the taste of moonlight
The blood of life revealed

She changes form, she whispers “Silence”
She is the starlight, snowfall, dawn
Hers is the power
Of the river and the mountain
Hers the spiral dance of love

As the seasons are turning
And the spring returns again
She is dancing on the wind
And the reasons for Earth and Air
Fire, Water, Light
Are the mysteries she sings to you
In the dreamtime
 In the dreamtime

She weaves the magic of morning
She is the moon embracing Earth
Are you alive?
Or has the soul within you withered?
Breathe the miracle of birth

She is the mother crying
She is the daughter with lips of gold
She is the crone
The wise one with the story
Of Avalon
Where my spirit grows

As the seasons are turning
And the spring returns again
She is dancing on the wind
And the reasons for Earth and Air
Fire, Water, Light
Are the mysteries she sings to you
In the dreamtime
In the dreamtime

Your questions trouble only strangers
To our land of mist and green
The fear they bring
And the lie that they have seen Him
Crucifies the ancient dreams

She is dying please re/member
She is calling you to life
The everlasting fire
Is the fire of transformation
Fear not this dragon night

As the seasons are turning
And the spring returns again
She is dancing on the wind
And the reasons for Earth and Air
Fire, Water, Light
Are the mysteries she sings to you
In the dreamtime

    In the dreamtime
        In the dreamtime
            In the dreamtime
