Story behind the song
I wrote this song on Mabon on the back deck of a coffehouse that we were playing two years ago. It is a rough cut of the song (and the first I have ever played the guitar on!) It is a melancholy, yet passionate reflection of time spent alone... And the story of an hiatus of a Bard that is truly missed during the colder months... only to return again when it warms, bringing joy and inspiration to our souls.

Lyrics
In a deep, musky wood lie a boat and a paddle Awaiting a Poet who will rise with the dawn And the boat is a melody that drifts into dreamland Growing into a ship and it brings me along Now I sit on a deck in a coffeehouse garden Awaiting the poetry the evening is long And the dream is a memory that cannot escape me The evening is pretty but it will not last long Well adieu to the Summer then welcome in Fall Milkweeds are Autumn-laced hearken their call We bid you good parting your memory burns In our hearts for Nine Moons until you return On a parchment before me notes dance in lucidity Shimmering over the waves of Mabon In the whisperings of tales in the shanties behind me Lie kingdoms incited to war by your song Many a soul was torn open and bleeding Up from the hollows of Hell screamed their throng And the wrenching and pain it has torn my soul open Yet alas, only able to gift you with song Well hello to the Winter farewell to the Fall Trees are icicle-laced shatter their call We bid you good parting your memory burns For Nine Moons in our hearts until you return Yet the wood remains peaceful his dreams they are sleeping The quiet has done the Fair Poet no wrong In the moonlight, he’s weeping his dreamland is timeless His ship ever sailing into Avalon In sonorous sanctum the poetess eloquent Drinks of the cup from his Passion's Well drawn Wishes him well on his journeys to within Farewell to the Bard then until Winter’s gone Yes hello to the Spring again welcoming thaw Your music shall ring within gracing our halls All hail your return as the warming sun burns For Nine Moons in our hearts until you return For Nine Moons in our hearts until you return...
