Temptress of the Green Hill

Airy Celtic folk with frame drum pulse, low whistle, and woven male/female vocals trading lines; verses stay close and intimate with harp and soft fiddle drones, chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, bodhrán swells, and a lilting flute answer-line on the hook, Final pass strips back to voice and drone, then a wistful whistle outro, soft, celtic

[Verse 1] Bare feet on the moss Breath warm at my ear She laughs like running water Says “Come a little near” Her fingers trace my wrist Slow circles Feather-light “Mo chroí ” she whispers low And daylight leans to night [Chorus] Temptress of the green hill Soft spell on my skin I know I’m walking deeper And I don’t care if I never walk out again Sweet heart Wild one Lead me I lay my will aside If losing myself is losing Then I choose to lose in you tonight [Verse 2] She tastes of heather honey Of smoke and summer rain Her smile a small confession That she loves this gentle game “Tar anseo ” she beckons Eyes bright Half-closed Half-kind Every step I take toward her I leave another piece behind [Chorus] Temptress of the green hill Soft spell on my skin I know I’m walking deeper And I don’t care if I never walk out again Sweet heart Wild one Lead me I lay my will aside If losing myself is losing Then I choose to lose in you tonight [Bridge] “Grá geal ” on her tongue Like fire under snow Is it wrong that it feels so right? I don’t want to know (oh no) [Chorus] Temptress of the green hill Soft spell on my skin I know I’m walking deeper And I don’t care if I never walk out again Sweet heart Wild one Lead me I lay my name behind If losing myself is losing Then let me be lost in you This time
