Debra Cowan - The Night Owl Homeward Turns

The night owl homeward turns

As the dawn sweeps the sky

We must rise and gather up our flock

Push tears from our eyes

We will tread the secret pathways

The ancients did roam

For now comes the last time we’ll call this place home

And their longboats have been spied

Gathering on the strand

Where they hover like a pack of dogs awaiting command

With their iron and their fire

They will cut through the spray

And the word is that this time

Their intention's to stay

All the young men’s talk is brave,

They must make a stand

With their courage flowing from a jug

Old swords in their hands

How easy they embrace the old gods of war

And their blood flows the m***** defending the shore

The night owl homeward turns

As the dawn sweeps the sky

We must rise and gather up our flock

Push tears from our eyes

We will tread the secret pathways

The ancients did roam

For now comes the last time we’ll call this place home
