Loreena Mccennitt Balulalow Lyrics

Balulalow Lyrics

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides

Figures dance around and around

To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness

Moving to the pagan
sound.



Somewhere in a hidden memory

Images float before my
eyes

Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires

And dancing till
the next sunrise.



I can see lights in the distance

Trembling
in the dark cloak of night

Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing

A waltz on All Soul's Night.



Figures of cornstalks bend in the
shadows

Held up tall as the flames leap high

The green knight holds
the holly bush

To mark where the old year passes by.



Bonfires
dot the rolling hillsides

Figures dance around and around

To drums
that pulse out echoes of darkness

Moving to the pagan sound.



Standing on the bridge that crosses

The river that goes out to the
sea

The wind is full of a thousand voices

They pass by the bridge
and me.
