Brigid 04:42
Brigid (c) Caera Aislingeach, 2012 A new day for old ways Her blue eyes a soft gaze The eastern sky lit by timeless flame Cresting high and bright like Her name Chorus: A Bhríd, ‘Brigid, ‘Bríg, ‘Bhrìde, Breesha, Ffryd, Bridget, etc... (several variations of Her name from various times and languages) Well woven words illuminate Help healer’s hands integrate Smith’s steel strength forged in fire Skills we hold 3 sisters inspire Chorus: A Bhríd, ‘Brigid, ‘Bríg, ‘Bhrìde, Breesha, Ffryd, Bridget, etc... (several variations of Her name from various times and languages) The deep well of iomas that starts with a spark Rising within us brightening the dark Surging higher yet falls in cascades We are Her fire that never fades Chorus: A Bhríd, ‘Brigid, ‘Bríg, ‘Bhrìde, Breesha, Ffryd, Bridget, etc... (several variations of Her name from various times and languages) A new day for old ways...

"As I Roved Out" Who are you, me pretty fair maid, Who are you, me honey? And who are you, me pretty fair maid, And who are you, me honey? She answered me quite modestly, I am me mother's darling With me Too-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie oh And will ye come to me mother's house, When the moon is shining clearly? And will ye come to me mother's house When the moon is shining clearly? I'll open the door and I'll let you in And divil the one that hear us With me Too-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie oh So I went to her house in the middle of the night When the moon was shining clearly So I went to her house in the middle of the night When the moon was shining clearly She opened the door and she let me in and divil the one did hear us With me Too-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie oh She took me horse by the bridle and the bit And led him to the stable She took me horse by the bridle and the bit And led him to the stable Saying "There's plenty of oats for a bandit's horse, To eat it if he's able" With me Too-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie oh Then she took me by the lily-white hand Led me to the table Then she took me by the lily-white hand Led me to the table Saying "There's plenty of wine for a highwayman, To drink it if you’re able" With me Too-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie oh Then we got up and we made the bed We made it nice and aisy Then we got up and we made the bed we made it nice and aisy Then I got up and I laid him/her down Sayin’ “I hope to god you’re/I'm able” With me Too-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie oh And there we lay till the break of day Divil the one did hear us And there we lay till the break of day And divil the one did hear us Then I arose and put on me clothes Saying "Lassie, I must leave you" With me Too-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie oh And when will ye pass by again When will we be married? And when will ye pass by again When will we be married? When broken shells make Christmas bells I might then get married With me Too-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie oh

Longing 04:19
Longing (c) Caera Aislingeach 2004 chorus: I long for a lover whose heart is like the sea One who knows our source and can journey there with me Whose gentle touch soothes deep through my skin And whose beauty shines from a treasure deep within verse 1: My heart has been hurt and I have been scared I have fled my heart and have taken to the air I flown so high, that no one could reach But to be drawn back is the thing I now beseech verse 2: My heart is a place I myself have just now known It's a vibrant place where all life is nurtured and grown And hidden deep where there can be no hate Ancient temples full of treasure lie in wait
 verse 3: I've searched o'er the mountains and over the seas But the love I seek so far had eluded me So now I shine my own inner light That she may find me as I search for her by night

The Wild Hunt (c) Sonia Matoon-Jorgenson 2013 I dreamt of a haunted autumn wood on a full moon night I stood in a clearing of moss-covered trees, bathed in light As I sit and listen to the wind I sense a change in my forest kin The trees go silent as the sound of charging hooves grows I hear a distant horn call the charge as a raven crows I'm frozen in place as the fear grips me As I look to the left I begin to see Through a break in the trees comes a large black steed with the body of a deer Ridden by a man and flanked by wolves that sense my fear The man draws up and calls his beasts He stares at me as he drops to his feet I'm unable to move or speak Have you ever felt like this before? The power of attraction leaves me wanting more He never takes his eye off mine as he draws close He gestures to the shadows behind and I see the lost souls I'm hypnotized by his power But something inside me refuses to cower I nod to agree and without a word he mounts his steed With a grip of iron he pulls me up and I am suddenly freed I feel the wind ripping through my hair As we charge forward I have no cares In my waking hours I wouldn't have dared Have you ever felt like this before? The power of attraction leaves me wanting more I dreamt of a haunted autumn wood on a full moon night I stood in a clearing of moss-covered trees, bathed in light

Longing (c) Caera Aislingeach 2004 and 2013 chorus: I long for a lover whose heart is like the sea One who knows our source and can journey there with me Whose gentle touch soothes deep through my skin And whose beauty shines from a treasure deep within verse 1: My heart has been hurt and I have been scared I have fled my heart and have taken to the air I flown so high, it didn't seem real Now I'm back with trust in my heart's strength to heal verse 2: My heart is a place I myself have just now known It's a vibrant place where all life is nurtured and grown And hidden deep where there can be no hate Ancient temples full of treasure lie in wait
 verse 3: I've searched o'er the mountains and over the seas But the love I seek so far had eluded me So now I shine my own inner light That she may find me as I search for her by night
