about

From the 2016 Faun Fables studio album BORN OF THE SUN.
A song of nature, that here was fed by the surrounding nature of Leirfjord..

Nylon-string guitar & voice: Dawn
Staff flute: Nils

lyrics

Creekside, a figure dressed in white
Face in shadow, gown alight
Standing tall, stilling time
Across the water, the wind sings rhymes for you
Ydun, mountain child

Whisper your story to me, sing it in rhyme
Mountain maid, mountain wife

Green, soft patches through the clay
Sunlit paints gems upon the day
Sloping meadows, hidden flowers to find
Look to the shadows on the other side, Ydun
Ydun, mountain child

Whisper your story to me, sing it in rhyme
Mountain maid, mountain wife

Ydun, born on a mountain side
Follow a pathway none can find
A turquoise lake holding the sky
A laugh, a shout, somewhere in time, Ydun
Ydun, mountain child

Whisper your story to me, sing it in rhyme
Told through the ages, a valley at a time
Mountain maid, you mountain wife
No mortal hand will take the mountain child
