Songs for Our Journey 25

Picture
I wrote this song many years ago, and we usually sing it in Bodies, Voices & Spirit Chorus  just one night of the year. After seeing daffodils and trout lillies blooming on Tuesday, I knew this is the week to sing it! One thing I love about this song is that people tend to want to dance while they're singing it. Imagine a room full of the Faerie people flitting about, and you'll see what I saw the past couple of nights as the Choristas celebrated this moment out of time.  
Just Beyond The Winter
© K Hannan 

Midnight on the meadow, the sky is almost blue
Full moonlight seeps into my soul, and makes all old things new
The dogs howl at the magic, a thousand peepers sing, and it's
Just beyond the winter, and just before the spring

Just beyond the winter
Just before the spring
Just beyond the winter
And just before the spring

The juniper stands dark and true, and I need such a friend
'Cause I have been so ragged, alone and lost again
And I've been racing forward, to lose my fear somewhere
To try to leave something behind, to find something that's not there

Just beyond the winter
Just before the spring 
It's just beyond the winter
And just before the spring

But there's nowhere to run to, with the Moon so fierce and bright
She pours her love on meadow grass, and serenades my night
She says, "Leave your many thousand things, rest here on the hill
And sing my song, believe my song
Be still..... be still....... be still

Just beyond the winter
Just before the spring 
It's just beyond the winter
And just before the spring
Just beyond the winter
And just before the spring!
