about

I wrote 'Dream Dawn' ('Goblin by the fire at Dreamdawn') 1984 in my first year at Ormond College, University of Melbourne, but did not record it until this century. Part of my Elderbrook soundtrack, it expresses the friendship of moss farmers and other magical folk.

lyrics

Green light, frost on the seedling;
Kloh weaves his legend again,
Slip away, listen, the sand-grains are shifting,
None of you ever the same:
Rise up, wee goblins and sing, come dancing,
Soon we’re all going to fly!

Catch my eye and hold it there,
You’ll see a heart laid bare,
Come into an elfin dream buried in your soul;
Touch, my hand, no hold it firmly and never let go
And you’ll see a peace in me, even when you go.

And the sand holds fast where the elves are,
Down where the old waves roar!
Frost rides, high on the firefly,
Over the bright star-lore;
Rise up, ye faerie and dance, we’re waiting,
Up on the stealing shore!

Land and Legend
by Spiral Dance

This album carries one of my favourite recordings by this legendary mythic rock band: Adrienne's song 'The Children of Lir'. It's so good that it feels like a traditional ballad. Louisa John-Krol
