Silence before the storm, I reach the house hidden by the night
A light I saw, I knocked all quietly, I entered; a woman sat by the spinning wheel
"What brings you here my child?", she asked, "Don't you know how a lady keeps her secrets well?"
It's my life I am running from, It's my fate I am hiding from, oh would the goddess speak to me?
Her ways I don't understand, The mysteries that I must know, oh would the mother see through me?
"Why don't you rest my child", she said, "I will seek her advice, I will wake you when it's time"
All night by the spinning wheel, She sang an ancient tune and in the morn' her work was done
In the distance I heard a call, I awoke and I held the spindle in my hand
My other hand it held new life, The goddess had been by my side and her blessing was mine
