McKennitt, Loreena - Moon Cradle Lyrics






The moon-cradle's rocking and rocking
Where a cloud and a cloud go by
Silently rocking and rocking
The moon-cradle out in the sky.

Then comes the lad with the hazel
And the folding star's in the rack
"Night's a good herd to the cattle,"
He sings, "She brings all things back."

But the bond woman down by the boorie
Sings with a heart grown wild
How a hundred rivers are flowing
Between herself and her child.

"The geese, even they trudge homeward
That have their wings and the waste
Let your thoughts be on Night the Herder
And be quiet for a space."

The moon-cradle's rocking and rocking
Where a cloud and a cloud go by
Silently rocking and rocking
The moon-cradle out in the sky.

The snipe they are crying and crying
Liadine, liadine, liadine
Where no track's on the bog they are flying
A lonely dream will be mine!

    My cat adores this one. It gives her peace and comfort like I’ve seen never before with her. She likes to sleep, but stay awake just enough to listen.

    Canção que nos eleva a lugares fantásticos.

  5. X.... O....

    Freedom, (mental*) health, beliefs, and social needs/possibilities*; 4 cross tracks. Those could justify themselves and everything else, and just plain be set in stone - at level 7 (the 7th Day). When I have strange ideas and for any reason choose to do anything like anyone ever nervous about anything - and it's not good to say things like "this is the 5th century" or etc., a game/nonsense like the end of freedom is a bad (joke, trust other good people's weird innocence), I do what I want; for my lifetime; anyone should, and anyone with less irrational (strange) ideas or who is younger needs to be free and just as safe. There's just as little right and sense to judge; that's level 6 - what doesn't even measure or ask about those 4 cornerstones. And while level 7 balances out everything as universal good-will, that level only saves not doing it as forgiving as only that age was purely judged to not think without education further. Costs - bloodshop/level 5 - are usually charged and forced at the same time without heed to reforming level 7's pleasing outcomes of needs and conditions. That's purgatory. Use time; the 7th! Day, is over; don't "end" freedom; for no reason. Those levels are only for greedy abusers and unforgiving judges. Keep the earth plane sane. You can cross-track everything: don't. A looooot of crossed wires in a lot of minds and reactions.
