This track was written over New Years eve 2020/21 as a dedication to my mentor and friend Stagga.

lyrics

To blow out your candle would have taken a force,
of course the horses were so wild fate had to run her course.
If you pour fire on a wick it doesn’t flicker,
the wind tickles the earth a birth of water in a trickle.
Your flame burns bright hides shadows in the night,
the wind sings melodies the birds take flight.
You were snowed under till you were comfortably numb,
Feeling the suffocating pressure of a finger and a thumb.
Stream dreams heal people around you,
kneel in the moonlight to relight your candle.
More trickles join the struggle turn it downhill,
stray from the path past a fresh cut daffodil.
Till this re-birth is worth a river of your dreams,
know that all those other trickles will turn into other streams.
Follow snowdrops, tighten your cloak,
this river is a power now you’ll never be alone.

Duck eggs in a basket, ducklings into swans,
there’ll be no moss on the rocks now that you’re gone.
We lay your salt in the earth and float on salt in the sea,
because your stone rolls stronger now your spirit is free.

When you roll a stone its growth is unknown,
you were smoothed over time when all the seasons had flown.
You were homegrown with your toes in the water,
salt of the earth the first ship in our port.
And I was imported northernly the wind listened contentedly,
you taught us all important things, these things were always meant to be.
You meant so much to me a gentle wizard on the breeze,
these tears hear your melody washing out to sea.
Paper boats in a bottle of dreams,
earth, wind and fire tie desire at the seams.
Our streams meet on the bedrock you sowed,
held our tears in your treehouse in homespun gold.
Fold your cloak fill your soul with yellow roses,
no moss grows unless she knows your soul chose it.
Father time standing still on the shore,
with openhanded understanding handing me liquid to pour.
