Daena's Song

Daena, come to me
When the mist is on my house
Daena, lead me down
To the waters, to the ocean-side
Take me to the night-lodge
Where my apa waits
Desperate and stuttering
As he's been for seven years
Give me the strength to go down and in there
Let not the panic and the terror stop me from doing what's needful
It took me years to get here and I'm sorry that it took so long
Row, let me row him
To the far shore
I can see it in the distance
Let it come, let it come
Row, let me row him
Where he may find his rest
I can see it, I can see it
Up ahead, up ahead

Sojourn Here
05:16
|

|
And when we land this boat
On that far shore
Let them welcome and smile upon him
Their bodies young again yet wise with years
O let them forgive us our long blindness
And heal the shattered bonds of this catastrophe
O I long to hear their voices sing to me
Sojourn here, Sosruko
Eat of our fruits and partake of our games
Your time with us is short and the hour of your sad departure near
Then let me show my worth in the palaestra
Let me take my place in the House of Song
O I've heard echoes of it float through the mist
O let me join the dance and field in the slips
I long to hear the roar of the affirming voices
Of the million years' struggle and overcoming
Sojourn here, Sosruko
Here where the freshness of the morning remains through the day
Your time with us is short and the hour of your sad departure near
Sojourn here, Sosruko
Your time with us was short now that the hour of your sad departure's here

Farewell
04:47
|
|||
|
And now the morning breaks to lift the mist from your house
With more than a hint of sadness, I say
Farewell, farewell
Awake at dawn and steal away
Farewell, farewell
Your time with us has passed
For you must go alone and do what the world needs of you
There are millions of years within you that are yet unborn
Farewell, farewell
Awake at dawn and steal away
Farewell, farewell
Your time with us has passed
Ooo
The time may come when again you journey here
For now, your vision's clear and you alone must bear it
Farewell, farewell
Awake at dawn and steal away
Farewell, farewell
Your time with us has passed

Sosruko New Plymouth, New Zealand
The strange circumstances around Sosruko's birth fixed his lot in this world as an outsider, fated to wander from place to place, often a fool, often a stranger, knowing many guises and playing many games.
