When the candles are out, When it's cold at night, You walk by and about With your lantering light, With your knife in the raincoat, With the night in your eyes, With your dog hard to hold For it breaks any ties.
Faithful dog is your bliss And farewell is you kiss, Fair wind is your kin, Fairy witch is your queen.
When the candles are out, All the cats become grey. I am leaving a crowd At the end of the day With my wisp and my willow, With my wit and my will, Moving home in chill To my side of the hill.
Winding songs are my road, Witches flame is my coat, Wicked cat is my soul, Wandering man is my goal.
When we're up to the hilt, When your sword is in pain When my creatures are killed And bewitchments in vain, Take the words from my mouth And we'll climb up the hill Where's hidden a house Both for Jack and for Jill.
Winding songs are my road, Faithful dog is your bliss, Witches flame is my coat And farewell is your kiss, Wicked cat is my soul, Fair wind is your kin, Wandering man is my goal, Fairy witch is your queen.
