lyrics

She walks a misty road,
Past the Jamaica Inn at Bolventor,
‘Myttin Da’ she says to passers by,
On the way to her little white house on Bodmin Moor,

Many years she’s walked with a cane,
But her spirit is a strong as granite and slate,
Passers by think she’s loosing her mind,
But there’s something she says that roams there at night,

18 foot men lived by Dozmary Pool,
The wind doesn’t have to be seen for it to be real,

She said ‘I was born from the earth,
Just like every creature and that’s where we’ll return,
And when my time is up,
The pixies will come and lead me to my garden gate’,

Her mother lived at Hornacott,
Saw the houses bought up by the city folk,
They are more concerned with the money they make,
She says the beast belongs but the tourists don’t,

Flickers and pixels re-wired their brains,
Their eyes are closed to what they can’t explain,

She said ‘I was born from the earth,
Just like every creature and that’s where we’ll return,
And when my time is up,
The pixies will come and lead me to my garden gate’,

And I’m not afraid,
I’ve seen men with white mantles on horseback,
The cheesewring and the zodiac,
The black lion guards his empire,
This place is a powerful conduit,

And I’ve had my day,
I’ve seen knowledge replaced with nonsense,
Action without thought of the consequence,
Paupers with delusions of grandeur,
And with me the legends die.
