Текст песни 'Neath the Moon and the Morning Star

I've come to stand above the strand Where I walked so long ago And I fondly recall when love was all And I gave my heart below One magic night by fire bright As waves caressed the shore I laughed and I cried by a young girl's side Knowing well I would see her no more. The sea birds circled over he side And the sun broke o'er the bar. Once love was a flower at that earliest hour 'Neath the moon and the morning star. Now I've spent my time without reason or rhyme Crossing over the restless lands And the heard that I've known as a youth has flown Back to the shelter of memory's hands Oh, fleeting time, oh, fleeting time Your passing cannot chill The warmth of that night by the fire bright And in my arms I will hold her still The Sea bird circles over the tide And the day breaks o'er the sea. Once I was the wild and foolish child And she was the world to me. Once I was the wild and foolish child And she was the world to me.
