Another from the new CD - Good-bye Amy Gray

Faerrie Childe ( Lorcan Otway all rights reserved )


One evening I wandered, the day being mild
My soul was enticed by a bright faerie child
She led me away with her laughter and song
I thought I'd escaped from all my sorrows

I felt I was safe and I thought all was well
as I followed she skipped to a green woodland dell
She new all my thoughts and she knew all my cares
and her songs brushed away every sorrow

It seemed but a moment, that we lingered there
then a cold wind swept past us, and tossled her hair
Her smile quickly faded, her eyes lost all love
her songs turned to mirrors of my sorrow

I awoke in the forest, alone and in pain
all joy from that evening swept away by cold rain
The weight of my long years I now suddenly knew
and I long for an end to all my sorrows,
and I long for an end to all tomorrows.
