Ilya - Port Erin Fair lyrics

From the east a dust cloud rose - dark against the sky I knew then they were after us By noon next day we came upon a well that had run dry I preyed then for a miracle I thought back to the time - an island fresh and green The sun in your hair - your face all the joy I had seen We walked to Port Erin fair - your hand slips into mine O why did I leave - to sail over oceans in time So bitter now the wine We hid inside a roofless church – waiting for to die While birds of prey were circling I held the ring you gave to me - so tightly in my hand And knew one day we'd meet a again CHORUS In a dream you came to me - dried blood upon your head You took my hand and spoke to me There is a place I'm going to - no vale of tears you said And one day you will join me there CHORUS
