Kathy Mar - Wild Geese (On A Bright Wind) Lyrics
Chorus: The wild geese are flying out on a bright wind And never again will their songs fill our skies They've taken their magic and grace from our seeing And followed the dark in their eyes1.The wild gypsy geese in a thousand sad citiesHeard tales of a chance to fly from their tearsOut on a sun-breeze in a dark Ban-sidhe wailingA journey of more than one hundred light years2.The wild gypsy geese like some star-haunted pilgrimsBy ones and by twos all flew to the fieldThey knew they would fight to the last if they had toThat every dark hunger might somehow be healed3.And though they were strangers they shared a wild dreamingAnd meeting that first time they knew at a glanceWithout any planning, by some magic signalThey captured the ship that would see the stars dance4.And out on the sun-wind they flew in their raptureWith never a thought to the world left behindThe poets, the singers, the dreamers, the mysticsThe few who could see among so many blind5.And every gosling they birthed on the star-shipWas heir to the wild streak that drove them all onAnd still the dark dream and a wild Ban-sidhe wailingWould haunt all their sleep in that night without dawn6.And somewhere between the gold star that they came fromAnd one more unseen at the end of their flightThey lost their last yearning for somewhere to settleAnd chased the wild wailing across a dark night7.The wild geese are flying on sun-colored feathersIn black velvet seas beyond galaxy's shoreThe wild geese with all of our dreams in their pocketsAre winging away to forever and moreWords and music:Kathy MarCopyright 1984 Kathy Mar
