ON MY ENCHANTED SIGHT

(Jimmy MacCarthy)

I was looking from my window
On the moon on a moonlight night
And everything was perfect
If not perfectly in sight
And it put my mind to wondering
Of the night we turned to day
Beneath the castle on Tadhg M r's mountain
With our hearts being swept away
Hearts being-a-swept, hearts being-a-swept
Hearts being swept away

With the silver stream a-rushing
And a-pulling at our feet
I'm glad I've know the hunger
And I'm glad I've seen it eat
I think I'll never see a beauty
Such as yours framed in that night
You wore it like a cloak, you did
On my enchanted sight
On my enchanted, my enchanted sight

My vision will not soar again
And was deemed on that fair night
When everything was perfect
If not perfectly in sight
How these souls that went a-wandering
On the liquid night did stray
Beneath the castle on Tadhg M r's mountain
With our hearts being swept away
Hearts being-a-swept, hearts being-a-swept
Hearts being swept away

With a silver stream a-rushing
And a-pulling at their feet
When they sat down with the hunger
And the three of them did eat
I myself did paint this beauty
And did frame her in that night
This is the portrait of my love you see
On my enchanted sight
On my enchanted, my enchanted
My enchanted sight
