Loreena McKennitt

^Dm Bonfires dot the rolli ^G ng hills
^F13 Figures dance around an ^C d around ^G
Dm To drums that pulse out echoes of d ^G arkness
^F13 Moving to the pagan ^C sound. ^G
Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.
CHORUS:
^Dm I can see lights in the distanc ^C e
^Am Trembling in t ^G he dark ^Dm cloak of night ^G
Dm Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing ^C
Am A waltz on ^G All ^Dm Souls Nig ^G ht.
Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where the old year passes by.
CHORUS
Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
And moving to the pagan sound.
Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me.
