The Owl's Dying

[Verse]

Runnin' up that hill

Past the great Stone Circle

Underfoot

There's feathers in the grass

Singing something beautiful

Lays the birds to sleep

And she weeps

In the light of the dying

[Chorus]

Mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm

[Verse 2]

As the earth lay bare

And the blood runs cold

Her lullabies

They fade into the past

Stole her young away

Cut them down to bone

Left them all alone

[Chorus]

Mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm

[Verse 3]

Underfoot

There's feathers in the grass

In the light of the dying

And in her dying breath

Said

"Beware of man"

Took her up into my arms

[Bridge]

The owl is dying

The owl is dying
