Return

Lyrics

Return

Helen Yeomans


1. Be gone young swallow, be gone from here

The wind will carry your body high across the sea

Return once more from sea to shore

And to thy spirit surrender the wisdom of old

Mother Earth, father time amen, (mm mm)

Mother earth father time amen.(mm mm)


2. Bring in your barley, bring in you corn

The harvest moon shines so brightly upon this blessed land

Return once more from field to store

And to thy spirit surrender the wisdom of old

Mother Earth, father time amen (mm mm)

Mother earth father time amen (mm mm)


3. So long sunflower, so long my friend

I’ll keep your seeds for my children to sow when spring comes again

Return once more from seed to soil

And to thy spirit surrender the wisdom of old

Mother Earth, father time amen (mm mm)

Mother earth father time amen
