lyrics

ICHABOD CRANE
Music & Lyrics by Heather Alexander
Traditional Fiddle Tune: Cold, Frosty Morning

Walkin’ through the town in a fancy learned way
Talk is goin' round and now we’re bettin' you don’t stay
Horseman’s out for glory and your head you cannot keep
If you don’t believe the stories when the hollow is asleep

Such a tasty morsel but you cannot have her yet
Don’t act in haste of course because she’s someone else’s pet
Teacher, I beseech you now to try to keep your head
And don’t tumble with Van Tassle in a fluffy feather bed-

ICHABOD CRANE, DON'T GO RIDIN' TONIGHT!
THERE'S A BRIGHT, BLOODY STAININ' ON THE PALE MOONLIGHT!
BULLFROG'S CRYIN' OUT A WICKED REFRAIN
ARE YA LISTENIN' TO HIM SINGIN', “ICHABOD CRANE”?!

The horseman rides a stallion that’s as black as Winter’s night
Courses through the valley in attempt to give us fright
If you think of midnight strollin’ better think upon it twice
‘Cause your head will go a rollin’ just as smooth as loaded dice

Now don’t ya be forgettin' that they say he cannot fail
Not a soul’s whose met him and has lived to tell the tale
He’ll decapitate you quick and dead and never show remorse
And he’ll gather up your severed head and feed it to his horse

So if you’re out at evenin’ and you see a head of flame
Too late to start believin’, you have just yourself to blame
Your safety lies within a chance that only happens when
You hastely cross the covered bridge and not return again!

Balance of Nature
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 33 fans who also own “Ichabod Crane”

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to. Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani

This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi

Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler. Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt

AJ Adams is quite phenomenal. I have followed his music since he became the Heir to the Heatherlands when Heather Alexander retired and returned to the Land of the Fae. Being true to one's self is difficult for many of us, but for those of us (like AJ Adams, and also myself) who are trans, being true to yourself is one of the hardest things we can do. This holiday album is as much a celebration of authenticity as it is of the Season. Delenn
