Follow The Heron lyrics

The back of the winter is brokenAnd light lingers long by the doorAnd the seeds of the summer have spokenIn gowans that bloom on the shoreCHORUSBy night and day we'll sport and we'll playAnd delight as the dawn dances over the baySleep blows the breath of the morning awayAnd we follow the heron homeIn darkness we cradled our sorrowAnd stoked all our fires with fearNow these bones that lie empty and hollowAre ready for gladness to cheerCHORUSSo long may you sing of the salmon And the snow scented sounds of your homeWhile the north wind delivers its sermonOf ice and salt water and stoneCHORUS X 2
