SWALLOWED BY THE WOODS
I never should have let her climb
all the way up there
I tried to follow but I fell
and this gave her a scare
I tried to hold her close to me
she didn’t understand
she panicked and she wriggled
and she fiercely scratched my hand
My girl was swallowed by the woods
I don’t know where she hides
My mother heart it cannot bear
this emptiness inside
The thought of never seeing her
again tears me apart
Dear Forest God, I sense you’re there
please bring me back my heart
On this broken bench I sat
between hope and despair
and I kept calling out her name
Elfie, are you there?
The darkness came, the burling stag
the growling feral swine
Under the stars I waited for
this sweet girl of mine
My girl was swallowed by the woods
I don’t know where she hides
My mother heart it cannot bear
this emptiness inside
The thought of never seeing her
again tears me apart
Dear Forest God, I sense you’re there
please bring me back my heart
Didn’t care about my bleeding hand
I didn’t feel my fear
and all my worries from before
now seem so shallow here
In the leaves I saw her face
was I imagining?
Where are you naughty forest nymph?
the trees were whispering
My girl was swallowed by the woods
I don’t know where she hides
My mother heart it cannot bear
this emptiness inside
The thought of never seeing her
again tears me apart
Dear Forest God, I sense you’re there
please bring me back my heart
By the river on a broken bench
I waited endlessly
but when I sang my nursery rhymes
she sang back to me
We kept singing back and forth
the hours seemed like days
until my girl felt brave enough
to leave her hiding place
My girl was swallowed by the woods
but she was not so wild
The Forest led her to the path
and gave me back my child
Oh Forest God, oh Holy Trees
oh Starlight bright above
accept my gracious gratitude
my everlasting love
My girl was swallowed by the woods
but she was not so wild
The Forest led her to the path
and gave me back my child
Oh Forest God, oh Holy Trees
oh Starlight bright above
accept my gracious gratitude
my everlasting love

I am the one
who lives in the dark
with a ball of wool
and the ghost on the stairs
There is a queen
who lives in the tower
with seven red lips
and the eyes of a grave
I bring her a mouse
which she wears as a crown
and the untouched piano
plays by itself
The rocking horse moves
but no one is there
let the minotaurs dance
she’s the long black stair
with one silver claw
I open the cage
and she flies to the moon
as we dance on the stairs
I bring her a mouse…

Belong in a Zoo
Someone with a smile on his face
Someone who made feel you so small
I know you will go for the face
I know you will mess up his face
I know I will tell everyone
I know when we see his face
I know it will be such fun
I know when he walks in:
'I went to a house last night
Met a creature that belongs in a zoo
I went to a house last night
It was a creature that belongs in a zoo'
Let's all belong in a zoo
Let's all belong in a zoo
Let's all belong in a zoo
Let's all belong in a zoo
I went to a house last night
I went to a house last night

Celestial Navigations
by Pefkin
supported by 12 fans who also own “Lost In Catland - A Cat Compendium”
Set your controls for the heart of the next closest sun that you can find. This is the soundtrack for transfiguration, divination and disintegration. You will absolutely lose yourself in this psychedelic eddy of drones, swoops, and other-worldly glister. Aurora Borealis is highly redolent of the closing credits for the classic TV show UFO, full of foreboding and a bubbling under the surface menace

With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive.
