Loreena McKennit "ALL SOULS NIGHT"
DmBonfires dot the rolliGng hills
F13Figures dance around anCd around G
DmTo drums that pulse out echoes of dGarkness
F13Moving to the pagan Csound. G
Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.
CHORUS:
DmI can see lights in the distancCe
AmTrembling in tGhe dark Dmcloak of night G
DmCandles and lanterns are dancing, dancing C
AmA waltz onG AllDm Souls NigGht.
Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where the old year passes by.
CHORUS
Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
And moving to the pagan sound.
Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me.
