Baba Yaga

In honor of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes who I had the pleasure of seeing yesterday...
(as soon as my piano is tuned i will post the song)

i need a hairy woman
with a few extra pounds
a very old woman
who hobbles around
in a house
with chicken feet
in a yard covered in bone
i need a witchy bitchy woman
cause she knows
what's going down

Baba Yaga can you light my fire?
Baba Yaga can you light my fire?

cuz my light has gone out
and i've lost my mother
my light has gone out
and the world is cruel
my light has gone out
and i need another

even the evergreen branches scratch my skin
am i leaving or returning again
all i need is a thought a word a seed
cuz i can't see the moon

Baba Yaga can you light my fire?
Baba Yaga can you light my fire?

  1. Love the song but I particularly love the house with chicken feet ! The first time I heard it I thought it was a house with chicken feed.

    Here's to the power of the crone !
