"Tell me, tell me, Witchery Witch,
why are your eyes so bright ?
And why, when the Moon sails into sleep
do you chase the Stars at night" ?
'I need the brightness of my eyes
to see the Spirits fly,
And when I chase the Stars, I learn
the Secrets of the Sky'
"But tell me, tell me, Witchery Witch,
why must you visit me ?
And why, when I tell my friends to look,
is there nothing they can see" ?
'You have the gift of 'Second Sight',
your eyes, your eyes are wild,
But secretly, you find me near
because you are my child' !
