Lyrics
Verse 1
Walking the old road through the misty grey
Oak and ash and thorn line my way
I carved a charm in the winter's bark
A reed of protection when the sky grows dark
Pre-Chorus
Fire of the oak and whisper of the ash
The thorn keeps the door at last
Chorus
Oak and ash and thorn
Hold me when I'm torn
Weave me round and keep me warm
Oak and ash and thorn
Post-Chorus
Oh hold me
Oh hold me
Verse 2
The bending reed it weeps and bends
But never snaps to any wind
I braided my prayers by the amber moon
My guardian green will be coming soon
Pre-Chorus
Fire of the oak and whisper of the ash
The thorn keeps the door at last
Chorus
Oak and ash and thorn
Hold me when I'm torn
Weave me round and keep me warm
Oak and ash and thorn
Post-Chorus
Oh hold me
Oh hold me
Bridge
Root and branch and braided strand
Circle round me where I stand
Ward the night and mend the day
Keep the darkness far away
Chorus
Oak and ash and thorn
Hold me when I'm torn
Weave me round and keep me warm
Oak and ash and thorn
Post-Chorus
Oh hold me
Oh hold me
