Hold me now
in the darkness
Hold me now
in the crossroad fire
Hold me now
in the coming storm
Bring the north star down
Count every ghost
in the prairie dawn
Shepherd girl of the afterworld
Live each night
a new arising
finally calls me in
And unforgotten things
among forgotten things
Grace and hope I've lived between
for so long now
only for my little queen
When I have strayed
in the wilderness
first come silents
then you ring the bell
You can have my heart
not my secret
Shepherd girl of the afterworld
in the darkness
Hold me now
in the crossroad fire
Hold me now
in the coming storm
Bring the north star down
Count every ghost
in the prairie dawn
Shepherd girl of the afterworld
Live each night
a new arising
finally calls me in
And unforgotten things
among forgotten things
Grace and hope I've lived between
for so long now
only for my little queen
When I have strayed
in the wilderness
first come silents
then you ring the bell
You can have my heart
not my secret
Shepherd girl of the afterworld
