Silence before the storm I reach the house hidden by the night A light I saw I knocked all quietly I entered; a woman sat by the spinning wheel What brings you here my child, she asked? Don't you know our lady keeps her secrets well? It's my life I am running from It's my fate I am hiding from Oh, would the Goddess speak to me? Her ways I don't understand The mysteries that I must know Oh, would the Mother see through me? Why don't you rest my child, she said I will seek her advice, I will wake you when it's time All night by the spinning wheel She sang an ancient tune And in the morn' her work was done In the distance I heard a call I awoke and I held the spindle in my hand My other hand it held new life The Goddess had been by my side And her blessing was mine
