Take my hand
At the edge of the woods
Lead me
The unknowable
Could we stay here
And recite to me
all of your poetry
And let me show you
What you can't see
That was always so clear to me
I am your protector
I am your cathedral
Kiss my walls of stone
Drink the holy water
Praying on your knees
I am the mother and the father
And I will know you
Painful and strong
When you're searching
And hiding
And good
And wrong
I am your protector
I am your cathedral
Take my hand
At the edge of the woods
Lead me
The unknowable
Could we stay here

The Weaver

On the soles of my feet are written prayers
And the weaver's words are written in ash
I can hear the weaver's call
I can hear the weaver's call
She says build me homes with nothing but breath
Canyon walls to find your drum
On the soles of my feet are written prayers
And the weaver's words are written in ash
I can hear the weaver's call
I can hear the weaver's call
She says climb the sky on ladders of wind
Carve a crown of bull horn stars
On the soles of my feet are written prayers
And the weaver's words are written in ash
I can hear the weaver's call
I can hear the weaver's call
She says find the river guarded by death
Swim the current, take its teath
Steal the stones of speaking

Their LP Maggie Willow was named to WBUR and Sound of Boston’s top albums of 2019. ... more
