Lady of the Mead
[Verse 1] Smoke curls low From the old stone ring Her hair like dusk Her eyes like spring Copper cup In her steady hand She calls my name By the river sand [Chorus] Lady of the mead Keeper of the tongue-tied heart Pour a little courage Set these quiet lines apart Gold on my lips Fire in every word I breathe Mystic of the cup Lady of the mead [Verse 2] She stirs that brew With a rowan twig Murmurs tales Of the dead and big Drops three herbs In the amber shine “Drink ” she says “Let the rhyme be mine” [Chorus] Lady of the mead Keeper of the tongue-tied heart Pour a little courage Set these quiet lines apart Gold on my lips Fire in every word I breathe Mystic of the cup Lady of the mead [Bridge] My throat is smoke My thoughts run bright (oh) Every small memory Flashes into light She laughs “Now speak While the veil is thin Let the flood you’ve hidden Finally begin” [Chorus] Lady of the mead Keeper of the tongue-tied heart Pour a little courage Set these quiet lines apart Gold on my lips Fire in every word I breathe Mystic of the cup Lady of the mead (lady of the mead) Lady of the mead
