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
