It contains the following songs: Green Wound from In the Grip of Light, Here Nor There and August from Spirit's Sleep, Riverrun from Outer Dark and Hand on the Horizon from Three-Cornered Moon.

lyrics

I went up there to brood
where the mountains seemed to know me,
with a lantern in a cave,
it's where I found the hidden life.

Cloud, castle, lake.
Cloud, castle, lake.
And all the words I sent up questioning
are the same as the words that answer me.

Every path has a hidden life,
existing once in the corner of my eye
and every bird has no meaning to me
and all I see is as far as I see.

Some people here
are on an endless lunchbreak
as if the smell of grass
reminded them of sports day,

Every path has a hidden life,
existing once in the corner of my eye
and every word has no meaning to me
and all I see is as far as I see.

The rooky wood, the hazel wood.

I saw the rooky wood
from the window of a train
and went under its boughs
when I heard them call my name.

They sang unfolding songs
as a breeze moved through the leaves
and all of this was new
but the ground remembered me,
and I stayed like that for days
'til my bonds had worn away.
