A song for Our Lady of May. A song for a beautiful friend and the adventures we had.

Lyrics
bitterroot
a memory sweet, locked away
with mandregora and brittle vervain
entwined vine of ivy
and honeysuckle
remind me of lost loves
claret wine tempered with woodruff
for our Lady of May
shall I tell our fortune
while burning laurel
and sipping green mugwort tea?
CHORUS:
dusty roses and ragged lavendar
like ancient words
linger on...linger on
preserved...
redolent of oakmoss
we explored every path
and wound up back at home
do you remember all those adventures
or was I all alone?
CHORUS II:
Sweet Lady of May
where have you gone
lost in the past I carry with me
preserved
bitterroot
a memory sweet, locked away
with mandregora and brittle vervain
entwined vine of ivy
and honeysuckle
remind me of lost loves
dusty roses and ragged lavendar
like ancient words
linger on...linger on
preserved...
rosemary, to remember me by
...and yarrow I place by my heart
