Lyrics[]
Chloë Agnew:
My young love said to me,
"My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind."
Then she stepped away from me and this she did say:
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."
Méav Ní Mhaolchatha:
She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
Lisa Lambe:
And fondly, I watched her move here and move there
Méav and Lisa:
And she made her way homeward with one star awake
Chloë:
As the swan in the evening
Chloë and Lisa:
Moves over the lake
All:
Last night, she came to me
She came softly in
So softly she came that her feet made no din
Méav and Lisa:
And she laid her hand on me
All:
And this she did say:
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."
