lyrics

CRY OF THE FAERIE QUEEN
by Dogwood

What angel wakes me from my flow’ry bed?
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again
Your voice the only thing that keeps me here
Before my bones all disappear

What light thru yonder window breaks?
‘Tis the east, my soul to take
I am the smoke that you grasp with your hands
Unseelie Queen of distant lands

Minute by minute I am slipping away, slipping away, from the real world
Slaughter the rooster who brings in the morning
The air takes like iron, I cannot survive here
But I have never felt so alive!

Make me a willow cabin at your gate
Hold me tightly and I might be saved
I hear the music coming from the hills
The madness rising with it still

Don’t let me go
Back into shadow
Can’t I choose my fate?
I want to stay….

Minute by minute I am slipping away, slipping away, from the real world
Slaughter the rooster who brings in the morning
The air takes like iron, I cannot survive here
But I have never felt so alive!
And minute by minute I am slipping away, slipping away, from the real world
Slaughter the rooster who brings in the morning
The air takes like iron, I cannot survive here
But I have never felt so alive!

Dogwood Seattle, Washington

Hailing from the hedge and loam of Seattle's undergrowth, this chimerical songbird aims to weave historical and wax hysterical in the old-new traditions of mountain men, shantymen, and their fellow men as they tromp and twirl acro'st both ancient myth and accidental malady. This mighty troubadour delights in bringing life to the voices of the past, so come and share a pomegranate seed or two! ... more
