Once Upon A Midwinter
03:14
|
|||

Snow began in dark of night.
Daylight dawns on a world of white.
Through frosted windows I can see
Snow laden branches on every tree.
Snowflakes whirling to the ground,
Swirling clouds fall without a sound.
No sky above, no earth below -
A universe of falling snow
Come take my hand,
Come play in the falling snow.
In the magic we’ll dance
While the snow settles soft and slow
Catch a snowflake upon your tongue
Who’d have thought it could taste so sweet
In our hearts we are ever young
Every heart holds childhood dreams
Eventide and darkness falls
It wraps around us, one and all
Here beneath the ancient pines
The fire sings of fate’s designs
To the fire we are drawn
For song and story ’til the night is gone
We’ll light the dark with tales of old
Of adventurers and of riddles told
Stories unfold
Holding the heart spellbound
Words weaving worlds
There is magic all around
Sweet the song of wintertide,
Frost woven in the air
Safe and warm by the bright fireside,
Snow falling everywhere.
Once Upon A Midwinter Night,
Here where the lanterns gleam
Rising up are our hearts in flight
Weaving Midwinter Dreams.

Blessed Be

Blessed Be - sweet winds caress your face
Blessed Be - warm sun bring you its grace
Blessed Be - clear waters on your tongue
Blessed Be - stand tall mountain strong
May Love surround you and strengthen your heart
Bright and warm as the winter hearth
May Love protect you on the darkest of roads
May you find welcome even far from home
Blessed Be - bright stars to guide your way
Blessed Be - new hope each break of day
Blessed Be - shine like the midday sun
Blessed Be - sweet rest when day is done

Honey & Holy Water
03:46
|

I saw the Honeybee dancing over the meadows green
Dance in joy so completely free - the sweetest thing I had ever seen
From each blossom a sweet ambrosia was carried off in the summer air
It was poetry in motion and then I saw you dancing there
All in one moment - it happened suddenly
My heart had opened - like the blossom to the bee
You bring my heart sweetness, you bring my heart joy
You bring my life completeness
Your love is sweet as nectar - Our love will endure
Like Honey and Holy Water - you are an answer to my prayers
Now through the seasons we’ve danced together under the sun and beneath the stars
Stormy skies you are my shelter, you are the fire within my hearth
You are my love you’re my greatest treasure my heart is dancing my words are true
Like honeycombs in the depth of winter - the sweetest thing in my life is you
Honey tastes sweeter coming from your hand
Honey tastes sweeter coming from your hand
You bring my heart sweetness, you bring my heart joy
You bring my life completeness
Your love is sweet as nectar - Our love will endure
Like Honey and Holy Water - you are the answer to my prayers!

Evenstar
03:11
|
|||
|
I stood on a hill new laden with snow
A single star shone out from the cold evening glow
There was no other who could see what I could see
I stood and watched the Evenstar as it watched over me
I heard the star sing on the eve of Midwinter
A magical thing and sweet to remember.
It sang ‘Hope in your heart is a bright burning ember
Dream of spring, and the warm summer splendour’
A new hope was kindled, and o I could see
A bright spark of promise shine through strong and clear
A light in the depth of this Midwinter dark
Brought a fire to my eyes and a song to my heart
My thoughts turned to you beneath the same stars
To the fire in your eyes, to the song in your heart
A light in the depth of this Midwinter dark
This is my wish for you wherever you are
This is my wish under the Evenstar
