The Stolen Child Lyrics & Tabs by Kate Price
The Stolen Child
guitar chords lyrics
Where dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water rats
There we've hid our fairy mats
Full of berries
And of reddest stole cherries
Come away, O human child
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand
Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above glen-Car
In pools among the rushes
Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above glen-Car
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their cars
Give them unquiet dreams
From ferns than drop their tears
Come away, O human child
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand
Away with us he's going
The solemn eyed
He'll no more hear the lowing
Of the cows on the warm hillside
For he comes, the human child
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand
