lyrics

6. St. Flavian’s Day

Swallows fly the leaden sky
The fall begins
Before the storms go rushing by
The harvest gathered in
Sweet bird, one day
You’ll fly away
On St. Flavian’s Day
You’ll sail away
Do not fade away

Fires aglow and outside the snow
Lays its blanket down
Twilight grows, the moonlight shows
On the frozen ground
Sweet girl, one day
We’ll skate away
On St. Flavian’s Day
We’ll melt away
Do not fade away

You do not believe
That these words could possibly be
Meant intentionally for you
But I cannot give you more
Than some poor metaphor
And my most beautiful chords

Early July, the corncrake flies
Over yellow fields
Those who avow to follow the plough
They never yield
Dear girl, one day
We’ll steal away
On St. Flavian’s Day
We’ll ride away
Do not fade away
