Faun Fables - Widdershins Lyrics

      

Widdershins
by Faun Fables

Verse 1
We walk the witch's garden, my Gudrin and me
We walk the witch's garden in the shadow of the trees
The animals are here and their green eyes shine
Unweaving the strands of time
Unweaving the strands of time

Refrain
Counterclockwise, counterclockwise
Widdershins, it begins, turn back time

Verse 2
We circle the hawthorn to unwind the morning
We circle the henbane to unwind the day
Avian voices weave a mantle of greens
Can the world be as glad as it seems?
Can the world be as glad as it seems?

Refrain
Counterclockwise, counterclockwise
Widdershins, it begins, turn back time

Chorus
Time before and time beside the bright past, first and ever last
I have always been here in this garden
Time to come, a time to greet the dark star, rising ever far
I will always be here in this garden

Verse 3
We walk under starlight to a chorus of frogs
Who halt as a branch breaks, but wakes not the dogs
In the black oak here, the winter resides
Back where the earliest voice still abides
Back where a sleeping newborn will arrive

Refrain
Counterclockwise, counterclockwise
Widdershins, it begins, turn back time

Chorus
Time before and time beside the bright past, first and ever last
I have always been here in this garden
Time to come, a time to greet the dark star, rising ever far
I will always be here in this garden
Time before and time beside the bright past, first and ever last
I have always been here in this garden
Time to come, a time to greet the dark star, rising ever far
I will always be here in this garden
In this garden
In this garden
