(10) Blow It for the Blessing

Intro

Oh-oh

Hey-oh

Verse 1

My grandfather kept a crooked thing

Curled like a ram's horn

Carved from a dragon's crown

He blew it once at the harvest fair

And the hills all bowed down

The barley bent and the wind stood still

Pre-Chorus

He said hold it high

Hold it steady

When the frost comes creeping in

Chorus

Blow the dragon horn

Blow it for the blessing

Blow it till the valley hears the sound

Blow the dragon horn

Blow it for the blessing

Every soul on the mountain gathers round

Post-Chorus

Hey-oh

Blow it now

Hey-oh

Blow it now

Verse 2

I carried it through forty winters

Wrapped in wool and twine

Handed down from hand to hand

My daughter asks me why it hums

Why the wood feels warm

I tell her blood remembers what we can't

Pre-Chorus

So hold it high

Hold it steady

When the dark comes creeping in

Chorus

Blow the dragon horn

Blow it for the blessing

Blow it till the valley hears the sound

Blow the dragon horn

Blow it for the blessing

Every soul on the mountain gathers round

Bridge

Lowlands listen

Highlands listen

Listen now the horn is calling

Chorus

Blow the dragon horn

Blow it for the blessing

Blow it till the valley hears the sound

Blow the dragon horn

Blow it for the blessing

Every soul on the mountain gathers round

Post-Chorus

Hey-oh

Blow it now

Hey-oh

Blow it now
