Song: Spinning Mischief.
Never seen eyes as jackdaw-wild as the ones she turned my way,
Never heard the song of a firebird's child until I heard her play,
And she smiled and cried, "Come in, come in, come settle down and stay,"
And her laugh was honey on my skin, and then I heard her say,
"Oh, I will go spinning mischief
Until the moon is up,
And I will go pouring wisdom
Into your dreamer's cup.
Come along, we haven't long
Before the night is through,
And I have much to steal away
And much to give to you."
Never believed in the fire's voice until she drew it out,
Never gave a thought to the raven's choice or asked what faith's about,
And she smiled and cried, "Don't be afraid, it's not a sin to doubt,"
And she gave me water, gave me wine, as she sang out so devout,
"Now I will go spinning mischief
Until the moon is up,
And I will go pouring wisdom
Into your dreamer's cup.
Come along, we haven't long
Before the night is through,
And I have much to steal away
And much to give to you."
Never had a glimpse of the dreams of birds nor the things a fox may know;
Never had the shape of the sacred words, never thought I'd let her go,
But she smiled and cried, "It's time, it's time," and how the winds did blow,
And she kissed me twice, and she left me once, as she sang back rich and slow,
"Then I will go spinning mischief
Until the moon is up,
And I will go pouring wisdom
Into your dreamer's cup.
Come along, we haven't long
Before the night is through,
And I have much to steal away
And much to give to you."
Never would have thought of the firebird's fate or the change a fire can start,
Never would have thought to hesitate, though I knew she'd break my heart,
And she smiled and cried, "We're born to sail a sky no map can chart,"
And if I ever she should come my way, then I'll sing my proper part --
I'll sing,
I will go spinning mischief
Until the moon is up,
And I will go pouring wisdom
Into your dreamer's cup.
Come along, we haven't long
Before the night is through,
And I have much to steal away
And much to give to you.
I have much to steal away
And much to give to you.
