Lyrics
Verse 1:
Upon the misty moors there dwelt,
A lady fair with eyes so bright,
Her hair like woven strands of kelp,
Her smile like dawn’s first light.
Chorus:
Oh sing, sweet nightingale, above,
Of lost love on the Emerald Isle,
Where hearts once beat in cadence of
A love that fate beguile.
Verse 2:
A knight from lands afar did roam,
To claim her heart with vows so grand,
Beneath the stars, they dreamt of home,
With clasped hands upon the sand.
Chorus:
Oh sing, sweet nightingale, above,
Of lost love on the Emerald Isle,
Where hearts once beat in cadence of
A love that fate beguile.
Verse 3:
But war’s cruel hand did tear apart,
The woven dreams at seam and fold,
Left naught but ache in lady’s heart,
A tale through ages told.
Chorus:
Oh sing, sweet nightingale, above,
Of lost love on the Emerald Isle,
Where hearts once beat in cadence of
A love that fate beguile.

With clasped hands upon the sand.

Of lost love on the Emerald Isle,
Where hearts once beat in cadence of
A love that fate beguile.

Left naught but ache in lady’s heart,
