Dublin Fair - Now And Ever After lyrics

'Twas a morning fair when I walked out Down by Greenwood meadows Fairies danced in the misty dew The sun it chased the shadows By Spencil Hill I chanced to spy A maid so quite adoring So sweetly she sang Avondale It set my hearth a-roving Chorus: Love it fell out of the blue And I went tumbling after I only want to be with you For now and ever after Her hair was black as a ravens wing Her eyes were deep blue oceans Skin was purest lily white She set my heart a roving Boldly then she took my hand My love she whispered gently Come follow me to Avondale Where you and I shall marry Chorus Like the morning mist she danced her way Down through Greenwood valley And in the sky the sun she rose And chased the nightly shadows I stopped to pick a rose so red To give to my true loved one But when I looked the mist was gone And so was my lover
