lyrics

Water Wheel Lullaby

three toes, river and rose
tip of a fox tail, silver and gold
first born, pepper and corn
riddle of the ox bone, bramble and thorn

stone's throw, twenty below
down through the under pass, pigeon and toe
unwed, needle and thread
mother of the chamber maid's butter and bread

spirit of the water wheel
valley of the maidenhair
dancing on the potter's field
poured into an earthenware
sing a song in quarter tones
with a wing of dragonfly
powder of the grinding stone ........ lullaby

three toes, river and rose
tip of a fox tail, silver and gold
first born, pepper and corn
riddle of the ox bone, bramble and thorn

born of a hexagram
feather in a basket weave
branch of a maple tree
spoils of a mutiny
harvest of the latter phrase
bottle of the baby's breath
circle after seven days........lullaby

(Break)

spirit of the water wheel
valley of the maidenhair
dancing on the potter's field
poured into an earthenware
sing a song in quarter tones
with a wing of dragonfly
powder of the grinding stone ........ lullaby

three toes, river and rose
tip of a fox tail, silver and gold
first born, pepper and corn
riddle of the ox bone, bramble and thorn
