The Wild Swans On The Lake - Foy Vance

Atop the leaves

'Neath an autumn moon

Though soon the morn shall break

For now, the air is calm and cool

And the wild swan’s on the lake

Oh, the wild swan’s on the lake, my love

The wild swan’s on the lake

For now, the air is calm and cool

And the wild swan’s on the lake

An arch of willow o’er our skin bared

And candles hanging from the silver birch

With a crown of daisies on your scented hair

For a bride, thee I shall take

For a bride, thee I shall take, my love

A bride, thee I shall take

With a crown of daisies on your scented hair

For a bride, thee I shall take

And we’ll wake the morn

And greet the dawn

With hearts entwined and free

And when the sun’s begun to dance upon you

Filtering through the leaves

Filtering through the leaves, my love

Filtering through the leaves

When’s the sun has begun to dance upon you

Filtering through the leaves

And the seasons shift and settle in

And a midday walk we’ll take

The winter winds are soft and still

And the swans are on the lake

Oh, the swans are on the lake, my love

The swans are on the lake

The winter winds are soft and still

And the swans are on the lake
