jim moray - three black feathers lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1}
the moon is ever, ever watching
it watches us o’er field and fen
for this is only one man’s story
within the tale of many men

[verse 2]
oh, sally at her bedroom window
stands where she’s stood for three years past
“i fear my true love is lost in battle, and
i’m wondering how long love can last”

[verse 3]
the church bells toll to tell of midnight
with three bold knocks at sally’s door
and quickly she has risen upright
saying “who’s this calls at such late an hour?”

[verse 4]
and there is stood her own true lover
raven sharp eyes shining through
saying “smile on mе love, and i’ll not deny thee
for i have rеturned this night to you”

[verse 5]
“but, what was the promise when i departed?
i said that when the bullets flew
that i’d return, just like the blackbird
safe back to share my whole life with you”
[verse 6]
he’s led her up to her bed chamber
and bending knelt down where she lay
“seek rest here in my arms forever
for i must be gone ‘fore the break of day”

[verse 7]
and so she sleeps, and dreams she sees him
all by her window lit by the moon
saying “i must be gone, love, ere the rise of the sun, love
i fear you’ve loved and lost to soon”

[verse 9]
so sally startled has awoken
raven sharp eyes shining through
but all that’s left are three black feathers
and the bright morn so crisp and new
