West Of Roan - Little Flower
In the dark, I heard the frogs a-creeping
And I had no light
To find my way, I was slow and careful
Slow and careful
I forgot, I forgot to leave a door open behind me
That I might find my way home again
Home again
Under my feet
The path winding through the forest
And if I stray
Blue ghosts, blue ghosts, lead the way
I forgot, I forgot to leave a doll in my pocket
To tell the way when I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Oh, love, where'd you go?
The way is dark, I'm alone, I'm alone
I'll build a door of oak
With golden trim, follow the grain to the river
I'll forge a key of birch
And lock the pass, find my way to the rivеr
I don't know, I don't know what lies behind or beforе me
The way is dark but I can see
I can see
Open the door and go in
I go in
