(7) Mabon's chanting

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

The harvest moon hangs amber low

Apples heavy on the bough

The wheel has turned the long year round

And autumn keeps her promise now

I drew the circle in the grass

With salt and stone and sacred thread

Facing east where daylight wakes

I called the dawn inside my head

Pre-Chorus

Air and fire, water, earth

Witness all that I am worth

Four directions hear my song

Wicca calls the corners long

Chorus

East wind blow the golden leaves

South flame warm the shortening eve

West tide turn the fading light

North root hold me through the night

Mabon's balance held in hand

Grateful soul walks this land

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

The ground gives up its patient yield

Rowan berries turning red

My basket full of what I've earned

Thanksgiving rings where sorrow fled

The sun and shadow stand as one

A single breath of equal grace

I set my offering on the stone

And leave my worries in their place

Pre-Chorus

Air and fire, water, earth

Everything I hold of worth

Four directions sing along

Wicca calls the corners long

Chorus

East wind blow the golden leaves

South flame warm the shortening eve

West tide turn the fading light

North root hold me through the night

Mabon's balance held in hand

Grateful soul walks this land

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Bridge

Air that carried summer's birds

Fire that laughed in August sun

Water that remembered songs

Earth where all my days begun

I thank you now the year turns low

I thank you as the dark winds grow

Chorus

East wind blow the golden leaves

South flame warm the shortening eve

West tide turn the fading light

North root hold me through the night

Mabon's balance held in hand

Grateful soul walks this land

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Mm-hmm
