Forever Howlong

Mary

Goodbye (Don’t Tell Me)

This Is Real

For the Cold Country


VERSE
Wend your own way to the wilds and the woodland.
Find the faint footpath beyond turmoil’s reach.
Take to the tracks of the hedgehogs and badgers,
bend to the will of the hazel and beech…

Follow your feet to the forest’s deep heart-space.
Seek out the cottage half-buried in years.
Cross its worn threshold and breathe in the blessing.
Let its strong roof-tree ward-off ancient fears.

CHORUS
Wild woodland creatures still know where it’s hidden,
still know the way, though the tar road is gone.
The cottage, once thought of as myth, or forbidden,
is waiting for those with the heart to keep on.
Wild woodland creatures still know where it’s hidden,
still know the way, though the tar road is gone.
The cottage, once thought of as myth, or forbidden,
is waiting for those with the heart to keep on.

INTERLUDE

VERSE
Search for the bed in the heart of the cottage.
Lie in the folds where the blankets are flung.
Ask the soft bedsheets to hold and enfold you.
Rest on the pillow where lovers are young…

Call to your lover to have and to hold.
Limbs will be liquid and lithesome with youth.
Cleave to your young love, once he was older.
Magic is commonplace, longing is truth.

CHORUS
Wild woodland creatures still know where it’s hidden.
They still know the way, though the tar road is gone.
The cottage, once thought of as myth, or forbidden,
is waiting for those with the heart to keep on.
Wild woodland creatures still know where it’s hidden.
They still know the way, though the tar road is gone.
The cottage, once thought of as myth, or forbidden,
is waiting for those with the heart to keep on.

LYRICS

Sous un ciel d’étoiles brisées, je t’appelle
Ton ombre s’effrite dans la brume cruelle
Chaque vent murmure un éclat de ton rire
Mais ton absence m’engloutit, je ne peux m’enfuir

Ton absence est un océan où je me noie
Un amas de cendres qui brûle en moi
Maman, ton éclat s’est perdu dans la nuit
Je suis un phare éteint, seul dans l’oubli

Tes mots dansaient comme des feuilles d’automne
Sur mon cœur d’enfant, ils chantaient ton psaume
Mais ton absence les vole, les disperse en poussière
Et je cherche ton souffle dans les ombres d’hier

Ton absence est un océan où je me noie
Un amas de cendres qui brûle en moi
Maman, ton éclat s’est perdu dans la nuit
Je suis un phare éteint, seul dans l’oubli

Si mes larmes pouvaient tisser une aile
Je volerais vers toi, d'étoile en  étoile
Ton absence est une aile arrachée
Maman, sans toi, mon ciel s’est effacé

Ton absence est une mer qui agite mes rêves
Ta lumière s’éteigne, mais l’amour se soulève
Maman, je te porte dans mes veines toujours
Un chant dans le vide, un éternel amour

Ton absence, Maman
