(The theme song to LEGACY) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
By Loreena McKennitt (The Book of Secrets - CD) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
When in the springtime of the year When the trees are crowded with leaves When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew Are dressed in ribbons fair |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
When owls call the breathless moon In the blue veil of the night The shadows of the trees appear Amidst the lantern light |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
We've been rambling all the night And some time of this day Now returning back again We bring a garland gay |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Who will go down to those shady groves And summon the shadows there And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms In the springtime of the year |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood That when the fiddler plays All their voices can be heard Long past their woodland days |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
We've been rambling all the night And some time of this day Now returning back again We bring a garland gay |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
And so they linked their hands and danced Round in circles and in rows And so the journey of the night descends When all the shades are gone |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
"A garland gay we bring you here And at your door we stand It is a sprout well budded out The work of our lord's hand" |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
We've been rambling all the night And some time of this day Now returning back again We bring a garland gay |
