This is what my fellow singer and I heard from the LIVE version with your help. What we hear different is written in capitals. Thanks a million!
When sweet AIRS they do arise And you hear the sounds of butterflies Or the spirit of some crimson rose Or the echo of that sea sand shore It is the hour I leave this place Made fair by you but you alone So here's Godspeed one last embrace Way down below them stepping stones
And in THE stream long leaf flowers weep Way down beyond ONE TRODDEN strand Like between THE rainbow and the sun My boat sets seaward from the land And love may come and love may go Just like that bird from tree to tree But when she sleeps OUR heart I know Will wander with BEYOND the sea
"A stor mo chroi" is a very fine song as well, Jim ;)
