lyrics

Ten years ago I walked a northern moor
Where I glimpsed a mucoused witch who cursed me pervert’s eye
And sent me back to town through misty depthless fields
Followed home by frogs and bats and unfamiliar thoughts.

A year from that I met me godly wife.
We were married in a church that faced that godless moor.
I said she were me first and as such so me son
And all were right for me but for I half did see.

Father. Yes son? Why ye misty eye?
I once had a lover, who left me for the sky.
Ye’ve a brother on the moorside who you shall never meet
He walks just like a badger, with mushrooms at his feet.
His temperament is much like yours but not so well behaved
He came out older than the hills and smelling of the grave
I take him chops and gingerbread the eve of each feast day
And call upon his mother when yours has gone away.
