we came here for
reasons salted beyond
memory

(ask the water
before it joined the river
to go somewhere)

You want to go somewhere
my beloved
(come with me)

Let us begin the shaking out
of our shaman selves
I know you have taken the first
step

out of deep love
for your precious children
we will follow
goddess

we will
follow

So this is the
oneness

Wings
smooth union
terrapin solitude

always alive
rock solid by my side
(45)

roll hard
never back down
speak the truth

without a sound

Sacred spirit woman
we know you must
be on your way now

we have held the gate open
into a garden of light
where you once kissed us with
stars

It's time to go now
(sacred spirit woman)
back into all of us

I am an unquantifiable force
travelling
travelling

The magic was alive
in my heart before
I knew what magic was

Before I understood gold
or love
they simply were there
all around me

we reaped our gold
buried the treasure
nursed our wounds

after the war

(the adventure would not leave
us alone, haunted by our
former dispensation)

The demons came,
one by one

Yet we dispatched them
in favor of hearth & heart
(still something burned inside)

a thing not to be satisfied

until we answered the phantoms,
reckoned with old sorrows
gave birth to innocence
