Ed Harcourt
Witches’ Song (2018 version)
[Verse 1]
Shall I see you tonight, sister
Bathed in magic grease
Shall we meet on the hilltop
Where the two roads meet?
We will form a circle
Hold our hands and chant
Let the great one know
What it is we want
[Chorus]
Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is a ward
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
[Verse 2]
Sister we are waiting
Cover up in shade
Fly fast through the airwaves
Meet with pride and truth
[Chorus]
Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is a ward
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
[Verse 3]
Father, we are waiting
For you to appear
Do you feel the panic?
Can you see the fear?
Mother, we are waiting
For you to give consent
If there's to be a marriage
Beneath contempt
[Chorus]
Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is a ward
[Outro]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
Remember death is far away and life is sweet
