(The fair folk dance, the fair folk sing As the fair folk step in the magic ring Tread not here till the light of day lest The fair folk steal your soul away) Gold and silver shine all around In a thousand lights of the dancing grounds Oh come not here at the fall of night Where the fair folk dance in the waning light Oh tall and proud and wondrous fair The people of the dark and air hold high the iron that they fear When the fair folk call, don't let them near
In the hollow hills the old ones throng And click their bones to the ceildgh song The banshee wails in the darkling night As the fair folk dance till the morning light (The fair folk dance, the fair folk sing As the fair folk step in the magic ring Tread not here till the light of day lest The fair folk steal your soul away) Seven years spent out of time And all was lost that once was mine I tarried once and listened long To the echoes of the fair folk's song
