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
