Dance of the Fairies

Dance of the fairies, dance of the night
Gossamer wings above silky skirts swirling so bright
Dance of the fairies, dance in the night
Slender forms bow and turn, glinting with crystal and light

Seven Teardrops

By the sea, by the shore, you will come to my land
From the ocean so wide you will find me
When you open your eyes, you will see me again
By your side, by the shore, by the sea
Come my love, come hear my call
With seven teardrops falling
Farewell parents, adieu to you all
My love takes me with him
On a bright morning fair I did walk to the sea
And the pretty shells and pebbles I gathered
Then I slept for awhile and thought it but a dream
When you rose from the waves and drew me near
Come my love, come hear my call
With seven teardrops falling
Farewell sisters, adieu to you all
My love takes me with him
’Tis seven years since I’ve seen your strong body and face
And your small one has run to her sea home
For to know once again your sweet salty embrace
To a strange, watery land I must go
Come my love, come hear my call
With seven teardrops falling
Farewell friends, farewell to you all
His enchantments bind me to him

The Return
05:42
|

|
When the moon glows through the silver, misty air
Then bright water sparkles darkly through the trees
Hear the wind blow soft and low like a dream
And a white boat floats to shore silently
In her mind the spirits fly
They are coming home to those they used to know
To the fire; hearth and stone wait patiently
On a clear lake, moonlight shimmers with the breeze
Gentle lady, crowned with flowers, steps gracefully
Whispering voices softly called her from sleep
And her answer: a gentle song of peace
Starlight dances with the leaves
Oh so green and bright on this joyous night
When the ancients all back home they came to be

Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling
Tis you, tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow,
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow,
Tis I’ll be there is sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so
And when ye come, and all the flow’rs are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an “Ave” there for me
And I shall hear though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
If you will bend and tell me that you love me
Then I shall sleep in peace until you come to me

Black Is the Color
04:30
|

|
Chorus:
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His lips are like some roses fair
He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hand
and I love the ground whereon he stands
I love my love, and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
And I wish the day it soon will come
When he and I will be as one
Chorus
I go to the Clyde for to mourne and weep
But satisified I ne’er will be
And I’ll write him a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death ten thousand times
Chorus

Greensleeves

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off so discourteously
And I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company
Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever thou woulds’t crave
And I have waged both life and land
Thy love and good will for to have
Chorus
A petticoat of sendle white
With gold embroidered gorgeously
A petticoat of silk and white
And these I gave thee gladly
Chorus

My young love said to me, my mother won’t mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kine.
And she stepped away from me and this she did say:
It will not be long, love, ’til 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 then she made her way homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
The people were saying, that no two were e’er wed
But one had 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
Last night she came to me, she came softly in
So softly she came that her feet made no din.
Then she laid her hand on me, and this she did say:
It will not be long, love, ’til our wedding day.
