Thread Name: Origins: Follow the Heron (Karine Polwart)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Follow the Herring home
Did this with Karine at a Folkworks school last year and have the words in front of me. Martin's version is correct, the only slight variation being
In darkness we CRADLE our sorrow
And STOKE all our fires with fear
Now these bones that lie empty and hollow
Are ready for gladness AND cheer
