Wolfe Tones - The Foggy Dew lyrics

O come all you young and fair And you who are in love I'll tell to you the many joys it brings From your first to your last Love is bitter sweet and sad It's gentle, it is strong, it is kind And as we ramble by day Through this lonely life we stray, It's sweeter to have loved along the way Like the dew upon the Rose And the fairy winds that blows As we wonder through life's misty foggy dew Like the stream that's rushing wild And the mischief of the child And the gentle waters slowly drifting by Love is deeper than the seas And far taller than the trees It's brighter than the stars up in the sky And as we ramble by day Through this lonely life we stray, It's sweeter to have loved along the way Like the dew upon the Rose And the fairy winds that blows As we wonder through life's misty foggy dew Sometimes love I have lost And sometimes I have found Are better to have loved than none at all That same stream that's rushing wild And the mischief of the child And the gentle waters slowly drifting by And as we ramble by day Through this lonely life we stray, It's sweeter to have loved along the way Like the dew upon the Rose And the fairy winds that blows As we wonder through life's misty foggy dew
