Tekst piosenki:
Tongue-tied, I am bound
To weave my words with thistle down
Sickle moon on the moor
Turns thistledown silver and fingers raw
I dye a thistle thread
Red for my mother’s tongue
Mother’s words made scavenging birds
A wish for a daughter, not 7 sons
Rash words, a shower of stones
Drove seven princes from their thrones
Mother’s words, the seed of me
Now I’m tongue-bound, tongue-bound ‘til they are free
I dye a thistle thread
Green for the woods where I make my bed
Where the ravens sing, the ravens sing
‘Free us of our weary wings’
They sing ‘weave and spin, weave and spin
7 shirts for Raven kings
Bite your tongue, swallow your tears
Tongue-bound, stitch-tongue for seven years’
I dye a thistle thread
White for the tears I will not shed
Pale fingers, worn red-raw
Red for the tongue I move no more
Tongue-tied, I am bound
To weave my words with thistle down
Sickle Moon on the moor
Turns thistledown silver and fingers raw
