First Footing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shepherdess with the North Star eyes
Mistletoe and hawthorn wings
Oh, little darling
First footing
My heart again, against the tide
And I sailed out to the blue
Oh, who would take fire
From the house on this day?
There’s a blaze in the field a’coming
Oh, the ghost is here
To let out the old year
Oh, shepherdess with the North Star eyes
All I ever pray
Is for first footing
There’s a blaze in the field a’coming
Oh, the ghost is here
To let out the old year
To let out the old year
