Lyrics

Verse 1 You came barefoot through the clover,Mist still caught in your hair,Gold in your laugh like summer ale,Wild foxglove everywhere.You traced spirals on my shoulder,Said "the old ones heard your call,"Moon hid behind a drifting cloudLike it didn't want to stare. Chorus Love like the gods of Dé Danann,Old as the stones in the rain,Running with kings that the world has forgotten,Still calling our names,Our names.If I kiss you under this hill tonight,I'm yours for a thousand days and nights,Love like the gods of Dé DanannWon't ever fade away. Verse 2 You showed me the door in the hillside,Looked like plain rock till you sang,Air turned sweet as apple wine,Stars burned bright and strange.I left my watch in the heather,Left my fear by the stream,You said, "Time bends for the brave ones,"And pulled me into your dream. Chorus Bridge If I vanish with the dawn,Tell them I walked home,Through bracken, through bright fern,Where mortal hearts don't go.If they ask me was it worthThe world I had to lose,I'll smile, say your wild green eyesMade it an easy truth. Chorus
