Silver Seed

Cailín, be careful when wishing

Because love is not a decision

Choosing a heart

Begins in your heart

And any less, something is missing

I tell you, Loveen, about stealing

I once knew a terrible feeling

That the birds and the bees

Where laughing at me

And my nectar, it was without reason

Don't prickle like a holly leaf

So none can taste your berry 'til blood-red ready

To fall for the steady green

Who taught me how to grieve?

Sing like sparrow, don't dream narrow

And know about the silver seed, ooh

Who make a woman out of me?

No cross can claim my gladness

Tame my madness

I'm born of me mother's seed

Mother is soil and queen

I met her last night in a dream

She said the stars in the sky

They know the same line

As the stars that are hanging in the trees

Mother, there's a star in me

Nectar sweet indeed

I sing like sparrow

I won't dream narrow

I know about the silver seed, ah!
