about

I wrote this song to conclude a story set I was working on back in 2010 called "Jennet - Telling Tales on the Lancashire Witches".

The clog dance is one I learned from Chris Coe of "The Ryburn 3 Step". It's called "Josephine".

lyrics

If the rush of birdsong marks your morning call,
If the standing circles hold you in enthral,
If the moorland breezes summon you from far,
Well then my bonny sweetheart - remember what you are.

If the scented forests stir your will to learn,
If your intuition informs your every turn,
If the thought of freedom sounds your souls hurrah,
Well then my bonny sweetheart – remember what you are.

And if the old ones stories sit inside your head,
If the moonlight beckons as you lie in bed,
If the years are kind and on you leave no mar,
Well then my bonny sweetheart – remember what you are.
