She Moved Through the Fair
Anúna Lyrics

My young love said to me
My lover spoke to me

my mother won't mind
My lover assured me that their mother would approve of our relationship

and my father won't slight you
My lover assured me that their father would not disrespect me

for your lack of kind
despite me not belonging to the same social status

And she stepped away from me
My lover moved away from me

and this she did say
And these were her words

it will not be long love
It won't be too long, my love

'till our wedding day
Until the day we get married

and fondly I watched her
And affectionately, I watched her

move here and move there
moving around the fair

And when she went homeward
When she went home

with one star awake
when only one star was in the sky

as the swan in the evening
like a swan in the evening

moves over the lake
swimming over the lake

Last night she came to me
Last night she visited me

and she came softly in
and she entered quietly

so softly she came that
She was so quiet that

her feet made no din
her footsteps made no sound

And she laid her hand on me
She put her hand on me

and this she did say
and she said

it will not be long love
It won't be too long, my love

'till our wedding day
Until the day we get married

If I were an eagle
If I were an eagle

and had wings to fly
and had the ability to fly

I would fly to my love's castle
I would fly to my lover's castle

and it's there I would lie
and there I would stay

On that bed of green ivy
On a bed made of green ivy

I would lay myself down
I would lie down

And it's with my two fond wings
And with my two affectionate wings

I would my love surround
I would surround my love with my wings

And it's with my two fond wings
And with my two affectionate wings

I would my love surround
I would surround my love with my wings
