about

Recorded live at a special event at the Canadian National Pagan Conference, Gaia Gathering, in Toronto in May 2012. The special event was called Wychwood Tales and Wails, in which stories, music, and sound effects intertwined.

lyrics

The cuckoo, he sits on his perch in the hole at the door to his home.
That's the clock.
It goes tick-tock.

If I could, I would stop the passage of time,
so I would be able to recapture the memories I've lost.

But I sit on my perch in the hole at the door to my home.
That's the clock.
It goes tick-tock.

The cuckoo, he sits in anticipation of the impending time situation.

The cuckoo, he knows it is time to move on and to spread its old wings and to fly back to heaven.

The cuckoo, alas, he is made out of wood like the door to his home.
That's the clock.
It goes tick-tock.
