Dublin Fair - Now And Ever After lyrics

rate me

'Twas a morning fair when I walked out<br />

down by Greenwood meadows.<br />

Fairies danced in the misty dew,<br />

the sun it chased the shadows.<br />

<br />

By Spencil Hill I chanced to spy,<br />

a maid so quite adoring<br />

so sweetly she sang Avondale<br />

it set my hearth a-roving.<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

Love it fell out of the blue<br />

and I went tumbling after.<br />

I only want to be with you<br />

for now and ever after.<br />

<br />

Her hair was black as a ravens wing,<br />

her eyes were deep blue oceans<br />

Skin was purest lily white<br />

she set my heart a roving.<br />

<br />

Boldly then she took my hand<br />

my love she whispered gently,<br />

come follow me to Avondale<br />

where you and I shall marry<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Like the morning mist she danced her way<br />

down through Greenwood valley.<br />

And in the sky the sun she rose<br />

and chased the nightly shadows.<br />

<br />

I stopped to pick a rose so red<br />

to give to my true loved one,<br />

but when I looked the mist was gone<br />

and so was my lover.
