The Golden Bough
I took that bough that was golden in hue
Went to the underworld
Looking for you
Spoke to the prophets
They told me what's true
But I didn't find you
No, I didn't find you
Had to leave you behind
Had to leave me behind
To find my own mind
For you to find your own mind
When I come back
And reach unknown shores
Will found
A New City
Those lights
Look so pretty
Fled from my country
I took to strange lands
Wondered, where is my home?
What are these sands?
Will I find what it is
That I most seek
When all these days
Feel so bare
And so bleak?
I took that golden bough
And I went far
That pristine branch in my arm
Was unmarred
Their eyes, meeting mine
Saw what I held
Were alarmed
But I learned much
On these shores
Survived!
After the horse
Held the crew
Survived!
When I sailed
And I met you
The first time
Survived!
Down in this place
And emerged
So Renewed
Look at my home
Golden seeds planted deep
Those branches will keep
When asleep
In the winter
Of worlds
New trees, golden brand
And I found my own land
So give me your hand
So give me your hand
So give me your hand
Went to the underworld
Looking for you
Spoke to the prophets
They told me what's true
But I didn't find you
No, I didn't find you
Had to leave you behind
Had to leave me behind
To find my own mind
For you to find your own mind
When I come back
And reach unknown shores
Will found
A New City
Those lights
Look so pretty
Fled from my country
I took to strange lands
Wondered, where is my home?
What are these sands?
Will I find what it is
That I most seek
When all these days
Feel so bare
And so bleak?
I took that golden bough
And I went far
That pristine branch in my arm
Was unmarred
Their eyes, meeting mine
Saw what I held
Were alarmed
But I learned much
On these shores
Survived!
After the horse
Held the crew
Survived!
When I sailed
And I met you
The first time
Survived!
Down in this place
And emerged
So Renewed
Look at my home
Golden seeds planted deep
Those branches will keep
When asleep
In the winter
Of worlds
New trees, golden brand
And I found my own land
So give me your hand
So give me your hand
So give me your hand
