Lyrics

Petals falling at the feet of old oak trees
By the starlight of the night sky do the lonely figures leave

Let us go, let us fly
to the plains where rivers run wide

Wake now, rise child
For a strange thing stirs nearby
From the darkness of these chambers
I have heard the angels cry

So come with me, I will take thee
to the island out at sea
Where the gulls cry at the high tide
With the rocks and herring nigh

Let us go, let us ride
to the streets where spirits run high

Petals falling at the feet of old oak trees
By the starlight of the night sky do the lonely figures leave
