lyrics

The Earth Child Returns ©2021 Chris Conway

The Earth Child has returned
And again she wants to know
Of all that that I have learned
From the magic she has shown me

She changes before my eyes
The child, the lover, grey lady, and ghost
In the dreams throughout my life
Did I learn all I was supposed to?

(chorus)
The past and future whisper at my door
When my fears are dancing round the floor
My strange companion takes me to the shore
And disappears as always
Leaving me stronger and forever wanting more

The child taught me rebirth
The lover taught me to live in the now
The Grey Lady showed me the Earth
The ghost then showed me when and how to get away

(chorus)

(bridge)
There's so much I want to show you
But you vanish as soon as you arrive
I'd really like to get to know you
But I want to keep the mystery alive

solo

Now the four become the one
And there is silence for a while
I show her all that I have done
And I see all her faces smiling at me
