Flint


I could bring you magic
Like fireflies in a jar
And I could sing of magic
Like dragons made of stars
But I just want to dance
Like the horses in the sea
Come dance with me

Golden bough and crimson berry
The little dove in the snow
Flint sparks and warm hearth
Of a solstice on the hill
But still there’s a mystery
Between you and I
As wide as the winter sky
As deep as the storm flood sea

I could bring you magic
Like fireflies in a jar
And I could sing of magic
Like dragons made of stars
But I just want to dance
Like the horses in the sea
Come dance with me

Ripple Stones


I’m sorry your skies have turned a colder blue
And I wouldn’t want to disturb more than I do
But sometimes you have to throw
A pebble in a pool
Ripple stone
Ripple stone
Watching ripples as they roam
Far from view

Above the starlings fly across a cold winters’ sky
A flock of a thousand birds so wide
All flying back home
A path well flown
Ripple stone
Ripple stone
Watching starlings as they roam
Far from view

The orchard sleeps deep in a blanket of sheep
While the cold air’s the only company you keep
I’ll throw a pebble in a pool
For I’d rather be a fool
Ripple stone
Ripple stone
Watching ripples as they roam
Far from view
