Pennies on your eyes

A lamentation song

Pennies on your eyes my love
Pennies on your eyes

We danced the dance of life my love
With all its ebbs and tides

Under the Moon We’ll dwell
Till there are no more cries

Follow the Golden Path my love
Deep in the Western Skies

Listen to the song

The audio file is a later version of the song, so the tune is a little different to the video – which captures the first tune the song came as.

The Pennies on the Eyes YouTube video is about the creation of my song, Pennies on your Eyes. Back when it was ‘on THE eyes’ (not YOUR eyes). Interesting how songs evolve!

These songs, poems, and reflections offer an insight to who I am and are my autobiography. I am a poet, a song writer, a witch. I dance my Wyrd in my practice; in how I choose to live; in who I share my moments with. My heart is black, white, grey and purple like the stone beneath my feet, the bones of Grandfather Green. My eyes contain her Stars and her deep dark well as I straddle the hedge and listen to the winds. My form is the tree that connects all realms, clothed in holly and oak. I am Stoneacorn
