Inspired by the story 'Deirde Flees to Albany'

lyrics

Her true love’s hair
Was as black as the crow
His skin was as white as the snow
Her true love’s lips were as red as blood
And his eyes would not leave hers

And she would dance
Bare feet on the pebbles of the shoreline
To his voice which sounded like a wave of love
Like the wind over the waters
Like the wind over the waters

And now she lives
Between her memories and dreams
Waiting for the days to pass
And his shadow reaches for her still
His shadow broken in two

And she would dance
Bare feet on the pebbles of the shoreline
To his voice which sounded like a wave of love
Like the wind over the waters
Like the wind over the waters

“Bring me the one with the hair as a crow
And the softest snow-white skin
Show me lips as red as blood
And I will show you my love”
