Lightning Rods - Lyrics - Faun Fables

Faun Fables is an American band from Oakland, California. Faun Fables is a concept and vehicle for Dawn McCarthy, who was inspired to write the original material while traveling after leaving the New York City music scene in 1997. Faun Fables also covers 20th century compositions by other song writers and traditional folk songs. The music on the first album is entirely by McCarthy, as are all lyrics and most of the music on Mother Twilight. All albums except for the first are collaborations with Nils Frykdahl, inspired by McCarthy's previous work and "Dawn the Faun" stage persona.

The clouds were active and low Playing in the valleys below We shiver together Lightning Rods Trying to understand What the night and moonlight can Fear shows a way for lightning rods The mystery is intimate When you're with kindred A rush, revealing Nameless, reeling Words are invisible We look at what they show Point at the Moon No longer need the finger Trying to understand What the night and moonlight can Fear shows a way For lightning rods The mysteries are intimate When you're with kindred A rush, revealing Nameless, reeling Mysteries are intimate When you're with kindred A rush, revealing Nameless, reeling You spill the nectar of life on me You gave me the way to talk again
