The Spell From Over Yonder

When the raven's colour's white And a cross turns upside down Dead end don't walk keep out Anchor's turning the inside out After all this ship of life Couldn't find a resting-place And a spell from over yonder Took the wind out of the sails Remember all those hungry years The elder left behind Just look at all those hungry years They come to be in the next century Underneath the surface is A wound that never heals And the salt of all oceans is The essence of your tears I wish there could be a future Without a past I wish there could be green roses
