lyrics

Oh the sun was singing lower in the sky
And a man unknown to these parts passed by
He said a maiden fair is what I seek
I’ve been walking through them hills a week
The men looked up
The women they did speak

They said if there’s e’er a moment here
That we find free
All the girls they run to the places they can be
They lift their voices to the clouds
Sing their hearts so free and loud
You’ll find them down the oak or at the glen

They’ll be singing
Ooh la lye la lye lye lye lye lye
Ooh la lye lye lye lye lye lye lye
Our young man to his hat he tightly held
What were these things unknown to him
Of what they told?
A shiver sent unto his spine
He said right I’ll wait here till the night
The women laughed
The men spoke up to him
They said this night the moon is full
The girls will roam
The last thought of theirs tonight is coming home
For nothing will they stop their song
They’ll be howling there the whole night long
Dear gentlemen rest now and let them be

[Chorus x 2]

And as he slept he heard an ancient song and call
Within his bones were notes so sad and beautiful
An oak an ash a thorn a drum a hand a heart a song
Colliding memories of places he had never walked
They’re from the glens of oak they’re by the sea
There are nights of song
Just weaving down the breeze
Find yourself a moment’s rest
Hear the sounds of singing breaths
You’ll find them down the oak or at the shore

[Chorus x 4]
