I wrote this song sitting beside the river near Tarr Steps on Exmoor last weekend. It was a perfect day and the song just describes what I saw and felt. I simple lyric, from the heart.
Under a Beltane Sun – Damh the Bard
(Verse 1)
My shackled feet they
long to be free from
this modern Rome.

The ancient moors and the
granite shores they are
calling me home.
(Chorus)
Sometimes this city is too much to bear,
I hear a calling in my soul,
The Mother’s waterways will take me where life has begun,

Under a Beltane Sun.
(Verse 2)
Cuckoo calls and the
seed falls as the
children play,
Skylark sings to the
swift on the wing in the
bright clear day.
(Verse 3)
Salmon swims and the
diamond stream sings with
the blackbird’s song,
Voice in the breeze well it
whispers please won’t you
sing along.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
