An ode to our sweet countryside

———————

in G progression or C, D, Em7, A

 

Howl at the red moon

As stars burn to morning blaze

Count not the hours

Count, no count not the days

Following dancing rivers

Chasing setting suns

Until we reach, until we reach that ocean side

 

Chorus:

Oh brothers and sisters when my spirit leaves me won’t you take me down to the river

release me

(Let me float on by float on by

till my troubled soul meets that hallowed sky)

 

Orion take us home

To the harvest feast

Shadows on the hillside

We will dance, dance like wild beasts

Light of legends listen for the secrets in the trees

Join the thunderclap

Make it come alive

 

(clap with a cappella chorus)

 

Bridge:

and the whippoorwills will sing their lullaby (repeat)

and the whippoorwills will sing their lullaby…  tonight
