Fernsong

(ooh) Under the fern shade,

the night opens wide

Feet in the moss where the cool roots breathe Dark green air

on my skin like a dream

Old leaves turn in a slow unseen stream

Something in the branches is watching me

I look up and the far white sky leans near

All of the silence is suddenly clear

Take me where the tall trees sway Past the hush of the

sleeping glade My heart keeps time with the hollow ground Far-off stars

pouring silver down I could stay till the night turns blue Lost

in the dark with the world made new

Owls draw circles in the open air

Small eyes shimmer and vanish somewhere

Every soft step leaves a little spark

Breathing with the roots inside the dark

There is no border where the earthlight ends

Only a road that bends and bends If I go deeper,

will the sky come close Will the wild know my name

Ahhh, the night keeps folding slow And nothing goes the same Take

me where the tall trees sway Past the hush of the sleeping

glade My heart keeps time with the hollow ground Far-off stars pouring

silver down I could stay till the night turns blue Lost in

the dark with the world made new

(ooh) World made new

(ooh) I rest where the wild things move
