Arise Dance
by Loose Goose

Album: Face Yourself

"My lover spoke and said to me, 'Arise my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me. See! The water is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come.'" (Song Of Songs)

Deep in a forest an apple tree mourns
No fruit will grow on her branches.
Seasons have come and gone still Winter's storms
Cling to the apple tree.

Arise Dance the Winter is over
The season for singing has come.
Winter is over the rains are all gone
And the season of singing has come.

Now from its slumber her spirit awakes
A minstrel's song pierces the dawn.
The seal that he'd placed on her heart gently breaks
And now to her lover she calls.

Arise Dance the Winter is over
The season for singing has come.
Winter is over the rains are all gone
And the season of singing has come.

Now comes the minstrel whose song thaws the frozen rain
Now comes the minstrel the spell is undone.
Winter is banished and May-flowers bloom again
Now comes the minstrel the dancing's begun.

Apple tree blossoms have burst into white
Garments of wonder has she.
Now comes the minstrel to dance with his bride
And apples to hang on the trees.

Arise Dance the Winter is over
The season for singing has come.
Winter is over the rains are all gone
And the season of singing has come.
