Lindisfarne

Oh, Lindisfarne with your coast so fair
I crave your breeze to flow through my hair 
As you absolve all my worries and cares
Oh, Lindisfarne with your coast so fair 

Oh, old Holy Isle a solace for so many
I offload my woes when they're feeling heavy 
Gives me hope and peace when there isn't any 
Oh, old Holy Isle a solace for so many

Oh, Lindisfarne with your brushstroke skies
Through your beauty I'm bequeathed new eyes
From my inauthentic life you cut all ties 
Oh, Lindisfarne with your brushstroke skies

Oh, old Holy Isle you echo history
From your castle, cliffs and monastery
Through your whispered wisdom I am set free
Oh, old Holy Isle you echo history

Oh, dear Lindisfarne of sacred grace 
No one's left bereft, feeling displaced
You envelope with love; I feel embraced
Oh, dear Lindisfarne of sacred grace

Beltane

Beltane, "Bright Fire" is here again
We've been set free from winter's chains
Now spring has conquered, light will reign
The darkness slain, the darkness slain

Sun radiates her healing heat
Decked homes with gay, May flowers sweet
We all give thanks, make merry, eat 
On dancing feet, on dancing feet 

In times of old, a "feast" of fun 
Bright bonfires lit, mimicked the sun 
Where man and woman became one   
Conceiving sons, conceiving sons 

Now, the Sun of Righteousness shines
I reclaim what's lost, what is mine 
Reawakened... soul realigned 
My heart consigned, my heart consigned
