Spirit Voices Lyrics

We sailed up a river wide as a sea
And slept on the banks
On the leaves of a banyan tree
And all of these spirit voices rule the night

Some stories are magical, meant to he sung
Song from the mouth of the river
When the world was young
And all of these spirit voices rule the night

By moon
We walk
To the brujo's door
 Along a path of river stone
 Women with their nursing children
Seated on the floor
 We join the fevers
 And the broken bones

 The candlelight flickers
The falcon calls
A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall
 And all of these spirit voices
Sing rainwater, sea water
 River water, holy water
 Wrap this child in mercy?heal her
 Heaven's only daughter
 All of these spirit voices rule the night

 My hands were numb
 My feet were lead
 I drank a cup of herbal brew
 Then the sweetness in the air
 Combined with the lightness in my head
 And I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo

Lord of the earthquake
 My trembling bed
The spider resumes the rhythm
Of his golden thread
And all of these spirit voices rule the night
