  • I'm made of bones, of the branches, the boughs and the brow-beating light
    While my feet are the trunks and my head is the canopy high
    And my fingers extend to the leaves and the eaves and the bright

    Brightest shine
    It's my shine

    And he was a baby abandoned, entombed in a cradle of clay
    And I was the soul who took pity and stole him away
    And gave him the form of a fawn to inhabit by day

    Brightest day
    It's my day

    And you have removed this temptation that's troubled my innocent child
    To abduct and abuse and to render her rift and defiled
    But the river is deep to the banks and the water is wild

    I will fly you to the far side Writer/s: COLIN MELOY
