Sad Song Of The Woods

Longing, yearning wishful, dread
Plaintive, mourning woeful, weary
Cruel be the wind that carries this tune
Song Clad in mourning veil
Deaf be the ears that it falls upon
Sorrow so overwhelming.

Forever and forever more
She'll haunt these moors
Eternally and even beyond
She'll dance in the early morning mists.

In autumn, in summer, in spring
In winters chilling wind
Over moors and beyond lakes
It echoes ever mourning.

In autumn, in summer, in spring
In winters chilling wind
Over moors and beyond lakes
The Sad song of the Woods.

Longing, yearning wishful, dread
Plaintive, mourning woeful, weary
Cold be the mind and cold be the soul
Cold as glacial waters in late autumn
Cold be heart that carries such wounds
She grieves, unsilent.

Forever and forever more
She'll haunt these moors
Eternally and beyond
She'll dance in the early morning mists.

In autumn, in summer, in spring
In winters chilling wind
Over moors and beyond lakes
It echoes ever mourning.

In autumn, in summer, in spring
In winters chilling wind
Between the seasons it echoes
The Sad song of the Woods.
