The Celtic Bard Lyr Req: Wild Wind (Kate Power) (5) Lyr Add: WILD WIND 11 Apr 01




Sorry about that. I must have accidentally pushed the wrong button on my keyboard.

Anyway, here it is.

WILD WIND

At the foot of the mountain
Stands a high, high tree
Its branches reach up to the sky
And a red crested bird
Leaves her nest in the leaves
And from the tallest branch, she cries:

CHORUS: O wild wind, won't you blow
And carry me to my love?
I know not where to go
I'll spread my wings
On your windy back I'll ride
O wild wind, won't you blow?

On the banks by the bay
Where the mossy muscles lay
And the castle on the hill meets the sky
There a red-haired girl
Fetches dinner from the sea
And walking out the jutting rocks, she cries. CHORUS

On the road by the wood
There a simple cottage lies
With thatch and painted windows inviting me to bide
And the old widowed man within it
With his pipe and twinkling eye
While stoking up the embers there, he cries: CHORUS

Well the cattle with their shepherd
And the fishes in the deep
They have no cause for sorrow, no love will trouble thee
If I could be a blackbird
In the tallest oaken tree
There from its highest branch, I'd cry: CHORUS


Hope that helped.

Good luck.

Rebecca
