Winter solstice
(Lyrics by Kerri ní Dochartaigh, adapted by Kerry Andrew)
I feel the shifting begin
I think of the river
A place where the veil is so thin
I think of the river
The last of the light fades
Makes way for darkness
This cold and quiet day
Makes way for darkness

Dance yourself into a different form


Between here and there
Then and now
This world and the other
To live as the butterflies
Free from border
To live as northern lights
Free from border
To live as the blood-red fox

On the threshold
To live as the wild white moth
On the threshold
Dance yourself into a different form

Between here and there
Then and now
This world and the other
My body is blood and bone
Light as feather, sculpted as stone

O, bones become ash
In the belly of fire
Placed back into earth
From which they′ve been formed
A beacon for those
That live on the shore

Between here and there
Then and now
This world and the other
