lyrics

When the barn burned down the chickens died
Saturn spread her talons wide
Across the field, December twins were running
The baby came two months too soon
The tide rose by the Texas moon
With every wave another star returning

The mystery of misery winds through Earth's fragility
The witches of the Hill Country are under their stars again

At harvest problem males are slain
A witch is taken back again
The pains of loss and gains of toil are welling
A worker's hands must know the land
A lover's lips must understand
The roles upheld within the witches' dwelling

Red went out and killed a deer,
the milking goats are acting queer
The cactus shows love's fiery rite is owing
When Odin came to claim his prize
It rained a rain that drained the skies
A night so clear the Milky Way was glowing
