Subject: RE: Snowing on Easter Sunday
There's also this lovely Christy Moore song, not sure about these lyrics though. Different tune to that Bonnie mentions.
EASTER SNOW (Christy Moore)
Chorus: Oh the Easter snow It has fade away It was so rare and so beautiful Now it's melted back into the clay
Those days will be remembered Beyond out in the Naul Listening to the master's notes As gently they did fall Oh . . . the music As Seamus he did play But the thaw crept over the mantle whit And turned it back to clay
Chorus: Oh the Easter snow It has fade away It was so rare and so beautiful Now it's melted back into the clay
He gazed at the embers in reflection, He called up lost verses again, He smiled with a roguish recollection, While his fingers gripped the glass to stem the pain When knocked on his door was always open With a welcome he'd bid the time of day Though we came when the last flakes were melted While it lay upon the ground we stayed away
Chorus: Oh the Easter snow It has fade away It was so rare and so beautiful Now it's melted back into the clay
