I posted this because someone had expressed interest in covering it, but never did. I believe it needs a lyric change. Instead of "She's the Spirit of the Earth" it should now be "Water Spirit of the Earth" because it makes more sense
Written during FAWM 2015. One of many songs that I have written that are clearly not meant for me to sing or perform but might work nicely for another performer.
Lyric change--Instead of "She's the Spirit of the Earth" it should now be "Water Spirit of the Earth" because it makes more sense. Recording has original lyric. Below is correct lyric.
#463-Spirit of The Earth © Rob Lincoln 2015 (open)
D F 4x intro and before and after each chorus except not before last
Dsus chord then up 5 -F and 7 -C on fret (Dsus may be misnamed it is D w/o 2nd finger down)
Dsus F(up 5) C
You see her in the cold green water
Coming into view
Slowly rising as the daughter
Am D
That you never knew
She comes to you all dressed in emeralds
As rain pounds on the pond
Boats are tethered you see several
Then she waves her wand
C D
Water spirit of the earth
Who never saw her birth
Who cannot ever die
Don’t let her catch your eye
She raises up the fish beneath her
They dance around her wand
And then the boats they all set sail
And glide along the pond
She turns her emeralds into rubies
And then to topaz blue
And each time she blinks her eyes
They turn another hue
Water spirit of the earth
Who never saw her birth
Who cannot ever die
Don’t let her catch your eye
You call to her but she won’t listen
She lifts into the clouds
Slowly the sky it starts to glisten
And then you say aloud
Water spirit of the earth
Who never saw her birth
Who cannot ever die
Don’t let her catch your eye
Your eye 4X
