Pagan Dance

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides

Figures dance around and around

To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness

Moving to the pagan sound



Somewhere in a hidden memory

Images flort before my eyes

Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires

And dancing till the next sunrise



CHORUS

I can see the lights in a distance

Trembling in thedark cloak of night

Candles and lanterns are dancing ,dancing

A waltz on all souls night



Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows

Held up tall as the flames leqp high

The green knight holds the holly bush

To mark where the old year passes by



CHORUS

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides

Figures dance around and around

To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness

And moving toward the pagan sound



Standing on the bridge that crosses

The river that goes out to the sea

The wind is
