Dreams on the Moor

from The Snow Ballad by Ali George

/

lyrics

He made his choice upon the steps.
He threw his money in the air.
And how could he choose any other
Than the path that was laid before his feet?

That night, he stumbled on the moor:
Black rocks – he tumbled to the floor.
He fell into a happy dream.
When he woke, she was lying next to him.

He drank the rain that lashed her skin.
He saw a ghost in the dark again.
A flash – as milky white wings beat –
That was gone before he took it in.

The wind was whispering farewell.
He was numb to the pain and frosty chill.
The stars were more than he remembered,
And he thought he could hear a dying drum.
