Come you, rest by my fire Cold and alone Among brush and briar I know the snow I know the thunder I know the story I know the wonder And what it's like When it all goes away Come you, rest by my fire Tell me, tell me the tales Of loss and desire I know the thief I know his plunder I know the wanderer But not what he wonders And I know What it's like To be afraid Do you know What it' like To be afraid? Come you, rest by my fire Fill me with hope And lost desire Come you, rest by my fire Come you, stay for awhile

Went up to the mountain What did I see? Looked over the mountain Saw the Ghost of the Sweet Gum Tree Said to ghost When it rains it pours in the Sweet Gum Tree Ran down that mountain Met my pa at the old mill Pa said to me... "Boy, YOU BEST STAY OUT OF MY MOONSHINE STILL!"

Salt Smoke 03:43

My brother and I We waited for you At the top of the mountain With nothing to lose We spoke not a word And made not a sound But crossed through the forest To where the wolves dine There you appeared With the blood on your hands The bird on your shoulder Your eyes in a trance Mmmm, and we cried... My brother and I We await the moon For the time and the place Where all things are through Hold fast and follow The old winding path Back up the mountain To meet us at last And you will arrive With the bones in your hand The words on your lips For the Summoning Dance Mmmm, and we'll cry...

Incantation 03:04

Sow me Throw me down Toss me around And hold me Hide me where I can't be found In the light Behold me Stroke my leaves I am your tree And fold me Into the ground of soil and seed I am The shadow creeping 'round at night By starlight My only friends The growing things and you So what will you do with us?... Grow me Into that tall and ageless tree And show me What it means to be at peace inside

Bound for the wild Set out from your home Away from every sadness And toil you have known Where did you go old man? Where did you go old man? The owl as she flies, Closes here eyes. A tear for the mortal All bound to die. In the haunted hollow Nine-pins in their hands Drink of the liquor, Drink while you can Your lover is dead And the wolves took your land Where have you been so long, old man? Where have you been so long, old man? Old man, beard long and white Sad to say you've been away for more than a night Old man, sadness in your eyes Sad to say you've been away for more than a night The owl as she flies Closes her eyes A tear for the mortal, All bound to die.
