Fionn and Morann

I walk my way down the hill

Boys of this town, once so alive and real

Long-expected, so fair and innocent

Walking the land with excitement

 

Hares and butterflies, nightmares and night skies

Their skins bare, hoping looks in their eyes

 

Night fell on their innocent banks

I cried as the moon sank

Where are my boys...

For i could not hear their loving voices

 

An empty room marked my longing

The cold autumn breeze caught my singing

My lullabies cold and frozen

For the path they had not chosen

 

Never grow up in my dreams

Just as the little stream

My boys swagger the day away

It is a long way
