Witches Lyrics

There are witches in the hills calling my name
saying come join us sister, come kiss the flame
Come dance in the moonbeams, ride the night wind
make love to the darkness and laugh at man's sins

I shiver with delight, I shiver with fear
my heart wants to go but my soul's filled with fear
So I turn to my lover and ask what do I do
do I answer their call or stay here with you

But under spell of deep sleep he moans and turns away
taking his protection and my desire to stay
So I rise to the hill tops, I ride the night winds
I make love to the darkness and laugh at man's sins

Great B-side to "Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning" one of many gems of early Junkies. It seems to me to be about the divide of safety (being in a domestic relationship) and danger (living for excitement) cleverly written in folk music terms..
