Intro
Where dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the l ake
There lies a leafy island where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water-rats There we've hid our faery v ats
Full of berries And of reddest stolen cherr ies
Chorus
]
Come away, O human child to the waters and the w ild
With a faery, hand in hand for the world's more full of weep ing
Than you/he can understa nd.
Where the wave of moonlight glosses the dim grey sands with li ght
By far off furthest rosses we foot it all the night
Weaving olden dances mingling hands and mingling gl ances
Till the moon has taken flight To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles whilst the world is full of tro ubles
And is anxious in its slee p.
Chorus
- [Guitar Solo]
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 ears
Give them unquiet dreams leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears over the young streams
Chorus
Away with us he's going the solemn-eyed
He'll hear no more the lowing of the calves on the warm hills ide
Or the kettle on the hob sing peace into his breast
Or see the brown mice bob round and round the oatmeal c hest.
Chorus
For he comes, the human child to the waters and the w ild
With a faery hand in hand for the world's more full of w eeping
Than you can understa nd.
A nice finger-style piece for Guitar(orig.performed on Harp) ~ Enjoy!
