The storm moved in so quick it covered up my footprints
The cliff walls high I was afraid to leave the ridge tops
A flash of silver hair through fog begged me to follow
Was she real or just a dream
And I was colder now than in 1000 winters
I tried to catch her as her silver buckles glittered
I felt so foolish in the rags that I was wearing
I yelled Stop what is your name?

Wise Woman of the Woods
Quiet rebellion in your eyes
Wildness that I too recognise
Teach me your mountain songs
Teach me your mountain songs

She called that redtail hawk, it danced on up beside her
Quickened my pace and yet the space 'tween us grew greater
Her hometanned leather held the answers I was seeking
You know secrets tell me now
Neath your glacier lily crown
Track the bear
Make the gin
Read the grease
A storm's brewing

Wise Woman of the Woods
Quiet rebellion in your eyes
Wildness that I do recognise
Teach me your mountain songs
I beg you
your mountain songs
I beg you
your mountain songs

But she moved too quick the larches swallowed
Any trace of our graceful encounter
I'll roam those ridgetops try and find her
She knows secrets she led me home
Still there's answers they're left untold

Wise Woman of the Woods
Quiet rebellion in your eyes
Wildness that I too recognise
Teach me your mountain songs
Teach me your mountain songs
