The Funeral

歌詞

When nightfall enfolds you and quickens your heart For you walk alone on the highway, If a polecat springs hissing her eyes raging amber Then you must stand still and not fear her For if you befriend her your sister she’ll be And she of all beasts knows the river Its secret unwindings and reason for flowing And a safe road beside the dark water... When nightfall enfolds you and quickens your heart For you walk alone on the highway, If a grey wolf springs snarling his teeth bared in anger Then you must stay calm and not fear him For if you befriend him your brother he’ll be And he of all beasts knows the old way That climbs to the one pass that cuts through the mountain And a warm cave where you may take shelter...> So follow the highway that leads to the lake And you will discover a sweet spring That bubbles and runs down the hillsides of childhood And there lay your heart down forever...
