Hy-Brasil Lyrics

[00:54.96] My great grandmother was a magic weaver
[00:58.11] Came across the water and caught the fever
[01:01.87] Wondered if her mother could hear her when she
[01:05.23] Sang the words she learned to say
[01:08.78] In the blue camhanaich all shimmering still
[01:12.61] Dame Calluna, low Lady of the Hills
[01:16.34] Cup of cold sun and a winterpill
[01:20.02] Send me back on my way
[01:22.91] Seven black rabbits of Hy-Brasil
[01:27.26] Twenty-one petals of daffodils
[01:31.16] Thirteenth note of the blackcap trill
[01:34.85] I'll fly home today
[01:38.51] Down in the cradle oh I would hear her
[01:42.57] As I breathed my soul believed
[01:46.42] If I sang those words I could leave there
[01:50.19] Leave my sorrow and pain
[01:53.03] In the blue camhanaich all shimmering still
[01:57.22] Dame Calluna, low Lady of the Hills
[02:01.07] Cup of cold sun and a winterpill
[02:04.19] Send me back on my way
[02:07.80] Seven black rabbits of Hy-Brasil
[02:12.31] Twenty-one petals of daffodils
[02:16.02] Thirteenth note of the blackcap trill
[02:20.02] I'll fly home today
[02:23.70] Though my brittle body was caught in his snare
[02:27.70] My soul would learn how to travel where
[02:31.36] The eyes of the rabbits were gleaming there
[02:35.06] On the isle of Hy-Brasil
[02:38.24] Seven years we drown, seven years we rise
[02:42.12] Said the black rabbit with the ancient eyes
[02:45.97] You'll be free, oh lura lae
[02:49.81] He cannot match your will
[02:53.52] In the blue camhanaich all shimmering still
[02:57.24] Dame Calluna, low Lady of the Hills
[03:00.64] Cup of cold sun and a winterpill
[03:04.61] Send me back on my way
[03:08.35] Seven black rabbits of Hy-Brasil
[03:12.28] Twenty-one petals of daffodils
[03:16.23] Thirteenth note of the blackcap trill
[03:19.76] I'll fly home today
[03:23.65] Though I drowned for ten years, I'm still rising
[03:27.69] Stronger for my pain and suffering
[03:31.02] My body was broken but my heart's reborn
[03:34.76] I'm freer than the sky
[03:38.27] In the blue camhanaich all shimmering still
[03:42.45] Dame Calluna, low Lady of the Hills
[03:45.86] Cup of cold sun and a winterpill
[03:49.50] Send me back on my way
[03:53.27] Seven black rabbits of Hy-Brasil
[03:56.93] Twenty-one petals of daffodils
[04:00.90] Thirteenth note of the blackcap trill
[04:04.87] I'll fly home today
[04:11.75]
