Lyrics
pathways disappear
By the riverside, pathways disappear, a hundred years have passed
A sundial by the yew trees, in a wood at the water s edge
by a curve of the river
A hundred years have passed, rooks are nesting overhead, pathways disappear
The carriers of souls, a penny for the ferry
black waters rise
the carriers of souls
A penny for the ferry, a guinea for a life, hawks are circling overhead
and food for the crows
And food for the crows, pathways disappear Leaden, footfalls led astray
A penny for the ferry, a sundial by the yew trees
The carriers of souls, a guinea for a life
Down by the leaden stour, and food for the crows, in a wood at the water s edge
down by the leaden stour
A sundial by the yew trees, black waters rise
black waters rise
At the end of the road, fog is settling on the fields Big, there s wood for the gallows
By a curve of the river, down by the leaden stour, footfalls led astray
black waters rise
pathways disappear
black waters rise
One hundred years have passed, a penny for the ferry
footfalls led astray
