Loreena McKennitt - Stolen Child Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Where dips the rocky highland of sleuth wood in the lake
  • There lies a leafy island where flapping herons wake
  • The drowsy water rats there we've hid our fairy vats
  • Full of berries and of reddest stolen cherries
  • Chorus:
  • Come away, oh human child
  • To the waters and the wild
  • With a faery hand in hand
  • For the world's more full of weeping
  • Than you can understand
  • Where the wave of moonlight glosses the dim grey sands with light
  • By far off furthest rosses we foot it all the night
  • Weaving olden dances, mingling hands and mingling glances
  • 'Til the moon has taken flight to and fro we leap
  • And chase the frothy bubbles whilst the world is full of troubles
  • And is anxious in its sleep
  • (Chorus)
  • Where the wandering water gushes from the hills above glen car
  • In pools among the rushes that scarce could bathe a star
  • We seek for slumbering trout and whispering in their ears
  • Give them unquiet dreams leaning softly out
  • From ferns that drop their tears over the young streams
  • (Chorus)
  • Away with us he's going, the solemned eyed
  • He'll hear no more the lowing of the calves on the warm hillside
  • Or the kettle on the hob sing peace unto his breast
  • Or see the brown mice bob 'round and 'round the oatmeal chest
  • For he comes, the human child
  • To the waters and the wild
  • With a faery hand in hand
  • For the world's more full of weeping
  • Than you can understand
