Jason Molina - First footing lyrics

Shepherdess with the North Star eyes Mistletoe and hawthorn wings Oh, little darling First footing My heart again, against the tide And I sailed out to the blue Oh, who would take fire From the house on this day? There's a blaze in the field a'coming Oh, the ghost is here To let out the old year Oh, shepherdess with the North Star eyes All I ever pray Is for first footing There's a blaze in the field a'coming Oh, the ghost is here To let out the old year To let out the old year
