This Is Deer Country - Siúr Boat Song lyrics

rowing on the river with silvery shadows chasing my mind whispering fields o'er the banks growing near and the panting i'm bound to abide I can hear them in the dark the beating of their hooves like a big bodhran pounding and they're shifting likes ghosts or a darkening coastline as seen from a ship departing and I can hear them calling my name and a song rising up from every muscle and bone oh the dapple and the bay and the gunmetal grey the black and the red red roan and here, like a shivering foal wet and clumsy and crying out in the night and smelling like blood to bring the wolf or the flood or the crashing and thunder or the fury of the sundering sea tree shaking ghosts on river banks oh or the cold, cold hands of godless lands that envelop and seek to end me
