Song from the Season 6 finale of Spout Lore. 

Lyrics:

In days of old, tales were told, of a maiden fair and true,
Of one whose heart went wandering, it moved from me to you,
One night she sat atop the wall 'tween the lands of here and fae
But Gibbous man had hatched a plan to steal her heart away

A key, a candle and a flame he used to play the role
Then bars of iron, stone and sun did close around her soul
Her heart was trapped, her spirit chained by one who could not love
And so began the paling of the nighttime sun above

The Gibbous man forgot her there, for fickle is his way
Unable to go wandering, she began to fade away
And with the waning of her light, the land began to howl
For in the waxing shade of night, the dark was free to prowl

Chorus 1
Wind and Water, Salt and Stone
The maiden’s heart was far from home
Wind and Water, Salt and Stone
The maiden’s heart was far from home

A simple man without a plan looked up and saw the plight
Of a fading moon and the growing gloom that overtook the night
A thief by trade, he stole a skiff and set upon the waves
To find the cage of the waxing maid in an ocean full of graves

For a thousand days he sailed the waves to the border of the fae
Where land and sea and sorrow meet, and the maiden was betrayed
The Gibbous man was waiting there, in the waning light of night
He told the thief quite peaceably, he would not win this fight

(Spoken?)The Gibbous man he had forgot the thief's weapon is his tongue
For the thief had traded with the sea, bone and blood and lung

To air he gave his breath, for wind to whip the waves
To stone he gave his bones, to strengthen all the graves
To water he gave blood, to make the currents flow
And in the breaking of himself, he felt his power grow

The sea was he, and he the sea, it was the trade he made
And in the giving of himself, he learned to save the maid

Chorus 2
Wind and Water, Salt and Stone
The maiden’s heart is coming home
The maiden’s heart is coming home
The maiden’s heart is coming home
The maiden’s heart is coming home
The maiden’s heart is coming home

Go Tell My Baby
