about

Inspired by a trip to Sliabh na Cailleach, a wild place dedicated to the old female powers of the earth

lyrics

Crazy bird/talks to the stones/sends a shivering in my spine/spirals on the sands of time/She rides her horse across the open field/Olivia, Olivia, whatever your name is/mighty on your bay mare/raven haired Olivia/With your sisters in the sky

I found the feathers everywhere/took them home with me/wove them through the strings of my guitar/I hung them from my bicycle/and through the patterns on the wall

Lying here upon the earth/stones around the open hearth/red glow in the darkness/home is where the heart is/throw your heart across the fence before you

The smell the feel of the fragrant grass/the wind plays with the pure air/listen to the trembling leaves/the blue the green of chlorophyll/I blend my shape to the land I'm in
Won't you whisper sweet nothing in my ear
