Loreena McKennitt - She Moved Through The Fair |
|
arranged and adapted by Loreena McKennitt |
|
My love said to me |
|
My Mother won't mind |
|
And me Father won't slight you |
|
For your lack of kind |
|
Then she stepped away from me |
|
And this she did say |
|
It will not be long love |
|
Till our wedding day |
|
She stepped away from me |
|
And she moved through the fair |
|
And fondly I watched her |
|
Move here and move there |
|
And she went her way homeward |
|
With one star awake |
|
As the swans in the evening |
|
Move over the lake |
|
The people were saying |
|
No two e'er were wed |
|
But one has a sorrow |
|
That never was said |
|
And she smiled as she passed me |
|
With her goods and her gear |
|
And that was the last |
|
That I saw of my dear. |
|
I dreamed it last night |
|
That my true love came in |
|
So softly she entered |
|
Her feet made no din |
|
she came close beside me |
|
And this she did say |
|
It will not be long love |
|
Till our wedding day. |
