There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

I've been so slow this month. It's frustrating, even though I know there's reasons.

No demo yet, but at least there's lyrics!

Lyrics

Misty Morning Summons
By Deirdre M Murphy

The air so still, the weather at rest
The birds sleep silent each in their nest
Fog drifts and twirls, all color fled,
When I rise, wakeful, from my bed

I dreamed a summons, to go outside
I slip on my shoes, heart open wide
The woods outside were hushed and still
But I glimpsed a figure high on the hill

She beckons me come, then the mist curls
Creating a path where the fog swirls
I step gently through the parted cloud
Afraid she might vanish if I was too loud

Step after step, I followed that trail
The fog folds around me, a magical veil
Then it pulls back, flowers peep through
When the fog vanished, oh what a view

A flowery meadow, birds singing soft
A young fox with nine tails, leaping aloft
She lands at my feet, flows into a dress
Says, “Come join my party, I hope you’ll say yes!”

We knelt down for tea, then started to play
Singing and dancing all through the day
And when the sun set, and I headed for home
She said, “I’ll always be near, wherever you roam.”

Beautiful visuals throughout the entire lyric make for a really enjoyable read. The reference to the fox with 9 tails makes me think of an anime character that my granddaughter loves. If I try to name it I know I'll get it wrong, but I loved seeing it in your song. If you get to add music I'd love to come back and hear this. :)

You have such a good connection to nature. You paint great pictures and I can imagine that place. Very mystical

This is so shiny and delicate one could hear a ukulele playing.
Funny how the lands become a dress and not the fog that covered it.

I'm hearing this as a power metal song. Loads of energy, mystique and intrigue in these words. Always follow the mysterious figure. The fantastic awaits!
