Harbinger -
Cunning Folk
'Round a sapling oak
Harbinger of the squall
Conjurers
Mountain wanderers
Pray return
In the spring with the herds
That's when the door swung closed
Just as the Parcae told
As sure as a new sun rose
Woe the door swung closed.

Blue Gills Brewery Song -
Father I'm wild and free
The mountain air has got to me
Weaving through valleys
Carried by water's flow
Frozen in river veins
Run along and make some friends
The grim harvest cold
Left you with a winter's frown
Won't you raise a glass to this woe-be-gotten town
Open casket courtesy
Of the local brewery
Just one of the perks
Of drinking your life away
A knot in the family tree
Women won't you forgive me
We grind past the day
To be blue 'round the gills every night
Let us raise a toast to my woe-be-gotten life.

Hummingbird -
Hummingbird in flight
Beat your wings a thousand times
In just one flicker of my eye
Oh hummingbird of mine
Hummingbird of mine.

The Peak (Some Nerve) -
I scaled the mountain seeking answers
When a bellowing goat sprang down
Halting me and said-
You've some nerve being here
Oh me oh my
What's it mean?
But as sure as there's ships in the harbour
I was down again
So through a steeper pass
I did reach the peak
When a bevy of larks swooped down
Over me and sang-
Well what have we here?
Who dare come before me now?
The cheek of it
Oh high and mighty power
How much longer 'till man does realize
This earth is dying?
Open up your eyes
And there it was
As clear as day
Every sin and callous way
Is it now too late?
With so many chinks in the armour
Will earth spin again?

Emerald Horse -
Dawning
Hey
By the window pane
That's where he caught his fate
Riding
Some way out in the vale
Upon an emerald horse unclaimed
So familiar yet estranged
For legged-daemon through the haze.

Dusty Road -
Throw a blackbird storm
To the mammoth moon
Hold the Midas touch
Will you wilt too soon?
Could you dead fall me?
I am torn at seams
With the womb to the West
And my heart long East
Wade out for me
I’ll be coming down the dusty road
Turn eyes and seek out the sun
Buckle my knees
I’ve been summoned to the hallowing oak
Sew soil and seed, I am done
Down the dusty road
It was moons ago.

Home (A Changed Man) -
Home
Back from the canyon
She wrings out his weathered clothes
Swears he is a changed man
But she's heard that before
Oh home
Home's out the window
On harsh winter days and nights
We try our best to get on
But you're missing your children grow.
