No Spell for Moving Water

On a hill hidden away

In a red valley unmarked

I came upon the witches well

A raven in the dark

She’s dress in silk and pearls

Her eyes matching the sky

She took me by the hand

And hummed me a lullaby

Down by the great lake

She sang her favorite song

About a woman as free as a bird

And moving on

Wouldn’t you want to enchant her

Tame her wild

Wouldn’t you like to own her

Oh there’s no spell for moving water

In her velvet boy

She collects her memories

If you’d ever open it

You’ll find your name in it

She is the fire, the heat

The rain and the cold

Her hair running wild

Turning to glimmering gold

Wouldn’t you want to enchant her

Tame her wild

Wouldn’t you like to own her

Oh there’s no spell for moving water

On a hill hidden away

In a red valley unmarked

I came upon the witches well

A raven in the dark

She’s dress in silk and pearls

Her eyes matching the sky

She took me by the hand

And hummed me a lullaby
