St David's Day

I heard songs and sparrows and the echo of a name Ringing down that silent twilight on Saint David's Day I was nineteen, she was six months younger, rose and rapture twined Captured in the magic flashing Spanish mountain's side All that summer felt it, something's coming down my way True I moved like magic, rapid, dancing down the day Then the moment came, visions hit me, silver in the grey Left me staggering my footsteps Marveling, amazed Walking on a rainbow Down Saint David's Day Saint David's Day, Saint David's Day Air linen for the springtime, put those winter clothes away I found something higher in a soul almost my age Ringing in the twilight On Saint David's Day She got soul in motion, healing in the hands Late May daughter, home and harbour, fiddle in the band To the riverside she guides me over Soldiers clothed in white Weapons in the water, study set aside Now I lay me lonely, with the summertime in mind Trapped in Spanish mountains of the Californian kind No Atlantic Ocean gonna lead these feet astray Every echo I will answer to reach my child of May I will set your sparrows singing Until Saint David's Day Saint David's Day, oh lord Saint David's Day Air linen for the springtime, put those winter clothes away I found something higher in a soul almost my age Ringing in the twilight In the melody she played I found a little miracle in a girl not quite my age Ringing in the twilight On Saint David's Day Saint David's Day Saint David's Day
