lyrics

The Hawthorn makes a solid edge
So the flock won't break through the hedge
It blocks the herd so they can't escape
Pen in my words and lock the gate

By the hedges I am hemmed
As I turn around the bend
Into the lion's den
This is where my journey ends

The Hazel mist above our heads
Contorts and twists the words I said
Their catkin curls, all wrapped up tight
I grasp my pearls so they won't bite

By the hedges I am hemmed
As I turn around the bend
Into the lion's den
This is where my journey ends

Though by the hedges I'm condemned
I will transcend

The Elm must stay close to the ground
It's cut and flayed, to keep the beetles out
So every year it must be trimmed
And my ideas, I keep them in

By the hedges I am hemmed
As I turn around the bend
Into the lion's den
This is where my journey ends

The Ivy climbs up windy lanes
It weaves and rhymes and binds like chains
Around the bend, what lies in wait?
Should I pretend to take the bait?

By the hedges I am hemmed
As I turn around the bend
Into the lion's den
This is where my journey ends

This is the lion's den
This is where I face my end

Though by the hedges I'm condemned
I will transcend
