Fairport Convention - Celtic Moon by Fairport Convention lyrics

There's a lady who carries a burden And the lines on her face tell it all; She remembers hearing sad stories But still dances at Memory Hall And the stars would come out just to see her And the clouds blew away all too soon Her face lit the heavens above her: She was helped by the Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon Once a young girl with rings on her fingers Given to her by a boy she once loved Barefoot they sat by the river Sharing secrets with God up above And the stars would come out just to see her And the clouds blew away all too soon Her face lit the heavens above her: She was helped by the Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon (instrumental jig) On a cold night by the roadside she rested [And] Pale was her skin, tired and worn Her beauty had faded through [from] grieving She was too tired to weep, too tired to mourn; And the stars would come out just to see her And the clouds blew away all too soon Her face lit the heavens above her [She was] Helped by the Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon [The] Celtic Moon ([extended] instrumental jig) --- .
