Lyrics

[00:02.39] There is a birch in Cachel Wood
[00:05.07] The silverest I've seen
[00:07.60] With mystery as a maiden's bed
[00:10.29] With mystery as a dream
[00:12.92] I dream to find my own true love
[00:15.42] An everlasting fire
[00:18.15] Imperishing when leaves decay
[00:20.63] T'would be my heart's desire
[00:22.86]
[00:23.36] Follow the burn to the sea
[00:28.66] How my poor heart weeps for thee
[00:32.46] Weeps for thee
[00:33.58]
[00:33.84] Then nature sent my own true love
[00:36.37] When apple blossom fell
[00:38.96] He sang beneath the mighty oak
[00:41.60] And courted me so well
[00:44.25] He spoke the pleasures of the flesh
[00:46.93] Of married life to come
[00:49.40] I loved him then in Cachel Wood
[00:52.04] T'was then I was undone
[00:54.38]
[00:54.99] Follow the burn to the sea
[01:00.52] How my poor heart weeps for thee
[01:04.52] Weeps for thee
[01:05.84] Follow the burn to the sea
[01:11.05] How my poor heart weeps for thee
[01:15.04]
[01:47.12] The berries on the rowan tree
[01:49.30] With child and in full bloom
[01:52.08] He proved to be a false young man
[01:54.37] A most unworthy groom
[01:57.20] A fish swims in the ocean deep
[01:59.79] A bird lives in the sky
[02:02.37] And fleetingly they intertwine
[02:05.05] And fleetingly they sigh
[02:07.43]
[02:07.84] Follow the bird to the sea
[02:13.10] How my poor heart weeps for thee
[02:16.75] Weeps for thee
[02:18.33] Follow the bird to the sea
[02:23.75] How my poor heart weeps for thee
