My love's gone a-roving Beyond the dusky twilight My love's gone a-sailing Upon the golden sea My love's gone a-rambling Into the silvery moonset My love's gone a-roving So far away from me And when he said that he'd always love me I knew it to be true And when he promised he'd be returning I prayed it would be soon Long hours in the evening I watched the stars at twilight Long hours in the morning I stood beside the sea Long hours in the evening I pined for his return, and Long hours did I weep for him So far away from me But when he said that he'd always love me I knew it to be true And surely now he is thinking of me Out on the waves of blue My love's gone a-roving And rovers love the twilight My love's gone a-sailing For sailors love the sea My love went a-roving And left me in the moonlight My love is a rambler And not at home with me Long years they have passed now I sit alone at twilight Long years since my love set out Upon the lonely sea Long years since I've wept, now And pined beneath the moonlight Long years since my rover's gone So far away from me So long ago he kissed me Beneath the autumn leaves When we were young, I pledged my love Now it's stolen by the sea When we were young, I pledged my heart But it's not come back to me

On a night when the moon rises high There's a rumbling deep in the earth And the night has a star in her eyes Gazing on at the dragon's rebirth Silver scales in moonlight, high in the sky A quicksilver sky And the path of the stars opens wide Where the glittering wings glide And a legend is risen tonight Silver scales in the moon's shining light On a night when the darkness is thick And the shadows fall over the land He's a razor that cuts to the quick Through the clouds flying fast as he can Silver scales in moonlight, high in the sky A thundering sky And the light of the moon fades away Leaving only the bright wings displayed Through the night sky a shattering roar Sends a shudder straight down heaven's core And the wind howls And the fire burns 'Til the night turns into day And he shimmers Like the silver sea As it catches the sun's bright rays On a night when the moon rose up high Came a rumbling deep in the earth Now the dragon has flame in his eyes On the morning that marks his rebirth

When she was a lass of five years old With her eyes so bright and her smile so bold She stood on the edge of the battleground With her eyes so bright and her smile so bold And a sudden grin as a dream took hold And she said, "Someday I'm going to be like them!" When she was a lass of five years old. And a fire burned so bright that day And she said she would fight 'til she got her way As a warrior maid, as in days of old With her eyes so bright and her smile so bold When she was a lass of five and ten With her heart as wild as the rolling wind She wept beside the battleground With her heart as wild as the rolling wind She sighed and stared and sighed again For she thought that she could never be like them When she was a lass of five and ten. But a fire burned so bright that day And it dried her tears, and it made her stay And it told her someday she was going to win With her heart as wild as the rolling wind When she was a woman eighteen years old With her eyes so proud and her heart so bold When first she fell on the battleground With her eyes so proud and her heart so bold And her face so stern as the pain took hold She held her head up high, a warrior true When she was a woman eighteen years old And a fire burned so bright that day And she swore it would never die away And she saw her destiny unfold With her eyes so proud and her heart so bold When she was a warrior strong and grown With a blade that flashed and a helm that shone She stood alone on the battleground With a blade that flashed and a helm that shone And the voice of a queen in her powerful tone As she knew at last that she had won the day With a blade that flashed and a helm that shone When she was a warrior strong and grown For a fire burned so bright that day And a spirit blazed that could not fade And she placed herself upon the throne With a blade that flashed and a helm that shone And there was lass of five years old With her eyes so bright and her smile so bold As she watched from the edge of the battleground With her eyes so bright and her smile so bold And a sudden grin as the dream took hold And she said, "Someday I'm going to be like her!" When she was a lass of five years old.

Follow me down to the deep forest bower, Your hand in my hand For in the haze of the long gloaming hours, Across the land The eve of May, with sunlit lips, kisses green branches Likewise our love is greener than the spring And 'neath these broad greenwood branches, I shall wear your ring. And I will crown you with a wreath woven of roses And I will wear a gown of white for the maiden queen And midst the flowers and the mosses, You will be my king. And we shall gather us hawthorn and fern And bathe in the dewshine, Then, with our arms full of blossoms, return To watch the sun rise. And in the morning, you and I wedded will be Before the eyes of the Lady and the Lord of the Green Blessed by the songbirds in the trees, We shall greet the spring.

In the dawn, weary of our battles There we stood, watching from the shore: Avalon, rising from the water Where he lay, resting evermore Avalon, when will he rise up again? Avalon, our Camelot has died with him. Golden king in a golden grove Sweetened by the apples on the isle Where are we without you here to guide us? Avalon keeps you all the while Avalon, when will he ride forth again? Avalon, the golden age has died with him. Midst the trees, sisters keep their vigil Where before, we, your knights, stood guard Lord and liege, silence fills the castle Empty halls frame its empty yards Avalon, when will he walk them again? Avalon, the dream we had is broken without him. Solemn-faced, we will stand in waiting 'Til he comes to claim his crown again In this place, we will watch forever From the land, searching in the mist Avalon Avalon, when will he rise up again? Avalon, watch over him Watch over him 'Til he returns someday.

At the dawn of the day With the mist on the briar And the rain and the wind Fast asleep in the morn I watch with a sigh As you're slowly departing For with you my heart Far away is borne. And will you recall As far off you wander That ever there wait Should you wish to return Open arms from the one Who loved you so true And a place for to rest When you tire of the world. For it's here I shall bide Until you're home safely And it's here I shall dream In the cool misty morn Of a dawn of a day When I see you appearing And my heart back to me So gently is borne.
