"Come to me, I'll read your mind" she said
"Warm to me, I'll free your mind" she said
Then she tipped back her raven's head
And started to sing...
Welcome, my young, be undone
Open, my blossoms, be kissed by the sun now
She brought me a wishing well
And summoned the waves to carry her spell
A mother's magic filled her eyes
When she whispered, "you're alive"
She spun my hair with golden thread
And poured honey in my voice and said
"It's time for eyes to open now
It's time to raise the dead."
Suddenly I could feel a fire rising in me
Her arms curled all around me like ancient ivy
I looked up at diamond-cut skies
And started to sing...
Come now, I'm young and undone
Bow down, bow down
For I have been kissed by the sun now
She brought me a wishing well
And summoned the waves to carry her spell
A mother's magic filled her eyes
When she whispered, "you're alive"
She spun my hair with golden thread
And poured honey in my voice and said
"It's time for eyes to open now
It's time to raise the dead."
This is the gift I give
Take it now while beauty lives
When pollen carries on the breeze
You'll bring the strongest to his knees
Bow down, bow down
This is the gift I give
Take what you please
And bring the strongest to his knees"
