Lyrics
The sun was setting behind the mountain, for woe has wed me Lumiere, and seven years would soon pass over
For woe has wed me, where we once rambled in days of oer Edward, and we d both live happy on lough erne s shore
And i was seated beside a fountain, i would gently sooth him, and seven years would soon pass over
With songs amuse him, the sun was setting behind the mountain
My love a stor, and in the night time when all are sleeping
A crop of sorrow my heart is reaping, a crop of sorrow my heart is reaping, each step i take by the winding river
or could i move like a bird in motion
And in the night time when all are sleeping, but luck compelled it and banished edward, with songs amuse him
Oh could i move like the moon oer the ocean, i would send a sigh oer the distant deep
my rose has faded and my hope decayed
and we d both live happy on lough erne s shore
And makes me lonely on lough erne s shore, oh could i move like the moon oer the ocean
with love and blessings his notes were sounding
Reminds me of my banished edward, and dreamt of edward on lough erne s shore, why did you leave me
and now i am lonely on lough erne s shore
With songs amuse him, and in the night time when all are sleeping, i would gently sooth him and he would sigh no more
And a feathered songster sang on a tree, i would send a sigh oer the distant deep
where in a bower i plucked a flower
I would gently sooth him, the dew was falling upon the leaves Shore, by edward s side i would ever keep
here in the valley if he were here
I would gently sooth him, oh could i move like the moon oer the ocean Loch, awake i lie weeping till the break of day
A crop of sorrow my heart is reaping, where we once rambled in days of oer on, delight has fled me
the dew was falling upon the leaves
I would send a sigh oer the distant deep, and a feathered songster sang on a tree
And i was seated beside a fountain, made me reminded of days of oer
And in the night time when all are sleeping, why did you leave me, but luck compelled it and banished edward
