Alternative title: ‘Thoughts of a Blackbird’

From our 3rd CD Ariel, initially released 2000 on Blue Tree, its worldwide release came on the French fairy-world label Prikosnovénie in 2001.

‘The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying.’
(‘Thirteen ways of looking at a blackbird’, by Wallace Stevens)

lyrics

Come blackbird and take my soul away
You won't keep your vagabond at bay
Your fortress hangs heavy in the tree:
Come blackbird and take the soul of me away

Who will listen into your lore?
Will the echo follow your call?
Who will listen while you're waiting by the wooden door?
