Lyrics
7. Ariadne’s Thread
Written By: Caroline Lavelle and Brian Hughes
Wraithlike fingers catch me within the misty dusk
The new moon’s smile is sidelong, the air is sweetened musk
The twilight on this hillside it breathes a thousand years
The dreams that first were dreamed here
In ghostly form appear
La, ya, ya, ya
La, ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Ya, ya ya ya
La, la la, la la la
The deeper in you dare go the nearer I am lost
The barred door has opened, the border takes a cost
The scent of thyme is rising awaiting your return
With every fibre listening, every moment burns
The labyrinth confesses with Ariadne’s thread
And offers up its secrets as love vanquished dread
La, ya, ya, ya
La, ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Ya, ya ya ya
La, la la, la la la
La, ya, ya, ya
La, ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Ya, ya ya ya
La, la la, la la la
The twilight on this hillside it breathes a thousand years
The dreams that first were dreamed here
In ghostly form appear
La, ya, ya, ya
La, ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Ya, ya ya ya
La, la la, la la la
La, ya, ya, ya
La, ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Ya, ya ya ya
La, la la, la la la
La, ya, ya, ya
La, ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Ya, ya ya ya
La, la la, la la la
La, ya, ya, ya
La, ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Ya, ya ya ya
La, la la, la la la
