lyrics

A whisper of music that tickles your ears
Like a song half-remembered from childhood’s years
You reach out to catch it before it can fade
But it’s gone in an instant and lingers unplayed

Tie a ribbon ‘round the old rowan tree
In your pocket a clover or three
The honey bowl left on your doorstep will be
The key that will set you free, you free, the key that will set you free
The key that will set you free

A trick of the sunlight, a glimpse through the trees
A will-o-wisp beckons between rustling leaves
Don’t stray from the path cry the warnings of old
But you have your own faerie tales to be told

Tie a ribbon ‘round the old rowan tree
In your pocket a clover or three
The honey bowl left on your doorstep will be
The key that will set you free, you free, the key that will set you free
The key that will set you free

How far are you going, my changeling child
Through whisper-dark forests, across rivers wild?
What timorous beasties will follow you home
When you find your way back from the pathways you roam?

Tie a ribbon ‘round the old rowan tree
In your pocket a clover or three
The honey bowl left on your doorstep will be
The key that will set you free

Tie a ribbon ‘round the old rowan tree
In your pocket a clover or three
The honey bowl left on your doorstep will be
The key that will set you free, you free,
the key that will set you free
The key that will set you free

Kindred Crow Hagerstown, Maryland

Kindred Crow is an acoustic journey through mystery, magic, myth, and mirth. Pagan Folk: Soaring lyrics over powerful rhythms. A little bit of magic, a dash of mystery, and a whole lot of revelry. Like their namesake, the Crows offer a musical mix that strikes a balance of compelling beauty, resonant storytelling, and more than a little bit of mischief. ... more
