Same Again (For Love) - Dagny

Mary was my mother's mother and my sister too There's rain in the river and there's a river running through To the sea around these islands crying tears of sorrow, pain There's rain in the river and there's a river in my veins Mary, young as we may be you know, the blood in you and me Is as old as blood can be Is as old as blood can be As old as blood can be Living lines of memory drew the markings on my hands Ancient lines of living love are waking in this land Saying, "I am in the city, in the forest and the field I am in the bounty, come on know me as I yield I am in the falcon, in the otter and the stoat I am in the turtle dove with nowhere left to go" In the moment of blind madness when he's pushing her away I am in the lover and in the ear who hears her say "Can we begin again? Oh baby, it's me again I know you are so different to me, but I love you just the same I love you just the same I love you just the same I love you just the same I love you just the same" Mary Ethel Ruddock, 1912 to '72 Though we never met in flesh but now I remember you Were warm and you were gentle, you were modest, you were kind A mother, wife and gran, you were a woman of your time But do we know your life in colour? Do we celebrate your flame? Remembering your offering with a candle in your name? Mary young as we may be you know, the blood in you and me Is as old as blood can be Is as old as blood can be As old as blood can be And I hear her say "I am in the living, I am in the dying, too I am in the stillness, can you see me as I move? I am in the Hawthorn, in the Apple and the Beech I am in the mayhem, in the medicine of speech" In the moment of blind madness when he's pushing her away I am in the lover and in the ear who hears her say "Can we begin again? Oh baby, it's me again I know you are so different to me, but I love you just the same I love you just the same I love you just the same" I am in the living, I am in the dying, too I am in the stillness, can you see me as I move?

I'm trying to accept That today I'm in a sentimental mood Maybe it's a way to prepare For something that is good My heart is ready for love again I drew a line to feel safe It's a place no one can break in Where the beginning meets the end A place to lonely understand Where no one hurts you 'Cause no one cares Stepped out Flew over the nest Two birds crossing the border Gazed down on green looking plains On seeds to become flowers Your colour's over the grey Are blooming after the rain In my garden From high above we can watch the sea With waves crashing over the reef When all is moving look for something still Like the ocean where is deep Way down below Way down below Way down below Way down below Stepped out Flew over the nest Two birds crossing the border Gazed down on greenlooking plains On seeds to become flowers Your colour's over the grey Are blooming after the rain In my garden I'm trying to accept That today I'm in a sentimental mood

I got so much need to see Won't you meet me down by the river by the elder tree? I got a little whisper in your ear 'Cause I can't shout loud, so you'll have to come near Well, I know it's hard to do But you gotta know darling that I'd do the same for you Well, I know it's hard to do But you gotta know darling that I'd do the same for you Well, I'll help you, if you help me Won't you meet me down by the river by the elder tree? Well, there's no time for saving me If you wanna break loose then you gotta break free Well, I know it's hard to do But you gotta know darling that I'd do the same for you Well, I know it's hard to do But you gotta know darling that I'd do the same for you
