damh the bard - brighid lyrics
there’s a tree by the well in the woods that’s covered in garlands,
clooties and ribbons that drift in the cool morning air,
that’s where i met an old woman who came from a far land,
holding a flame o’er the well, and singing a prayer.
goddess of fire, goddess of healing,
goddess of spring, welcome again.
she told me she’d been a prisoner trapped in a mountain,
taken by the queen of winter at summer’s end,
but in her prison she heard a spell the people were chanting,
three days of summer, and snowdrops are flowering again.
she spoke of the cell of the oak where a fire is still burning,
nineteen priestesses tend the eternal flame,
oh but of you, my lady, we are still learning,
brighid, brigantia, the goddess of many names.
(bridge)
then i caught her reflection in the mirrored well,
and looked deep into her face,
the old woman gone, a maiden now knelt in her place.
from my pocket i pulled a ribbon,
and in honour of her maidenhood,
i tied it there to the tree by the well in the wood.
goddess of fire, goddess of healing,
goddess of spring, welcome again.
