[Verse 1] Witchy steps into the fern bed deep Dew on her black shoes, secrets to keep Wicker basket, fiery gaze She knows every stone in these ancient ways Mushrooms blink beneath the leaves Red and gold where the damp earth breathes She wanders through the birch tree's light And the world stands still for her tonight [Pre-Chorus] Softly, softly, step by step The forest gives a light she's kept She hears the call from the wet ground low And smiles with a full mouth, watching it grow [Chorus] Witchy gathers magic mushrooms In the moss, in the moss, in the moss Witchy gathers magic mushrooms So mysterious, defying all loss Witchy, Witchy, don't go home yet The forest wants your time, no regret [Verse 2] Between roots, both slender and bent Her fingers find where the earth has sent A cap like velvet, a stem so fine As if it were meant for her design Small shadows dance, a deep desire Earth's scent on her chest, setting her afire She picks them up, so gentle and slow And the sky above keeps watch as they grow [Pre-Chorus] Softly, softly, step by step The forest gives a light she's kept She hears the call from the wet ground low And smiles with a full mouth, watching it grow [Chorus] Witchy gathers magic mushrooms In the moss, in the moss, in the moss Witchy gathers magic mushrooms So mysterious, defying all loss Witchy, Witchy, don't go home yet The forest wants your time, no regret [Bridge] When the mist falls deeper, cold and gray And the bushes breathe in a hurried way She lays a rune down in the grass so green And says, "I only take what's meant to be seen." The blackbird sings a crooked tune Her basket heavy beneath the moon With cold fingers, a warm, knowing mind And the forest's heart, she leaves behind [Chorus] Witchy gathers magic mushrooms In the moss, in the moss, in the moss Witchy gathers magic mushrooms So mysterious, defying all loss Witchy, Witchy, don't go home yet The forest wants your time, no regret
