Maggie Reilly - He Moved Through The Fair Lyrics
My young love said to me: "My mother won't mind.And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind."And he laid his hand on me and this he did say:"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding day."And he went away from me and moved through the fairAnd fondly I watched him move here and move thereAnd he laid his hand on me and this he did say:"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding day."Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did seeMy own darling duo sat smiling by meAnd he laid his hand on me and this he did say:"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding day."Last night he came to me, my dead love came inAnd so softly he came that his feet made no dinAnd then he went homeward just one star awakeLike the swan in the evening moves over the lakeMy young love said to me: "My mother won't mind.And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind."And he laid his hand on me and this he did say:"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding day."And he laid his hand on me and this he did say:"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding day."
