Watch Out

Watch out my love, watch out
Before the trees are bare
Hear the woodlark singing on
His sad and mournful air
Watch before the dark returns
With its blossom heavy rains
Watch out before the winter binds
The earth to icy chains

Island strangers, they trouble our lands
A fire waits in their eyes
Watch out when the air is sweet
And brown September's eye
Is creeping out to draw you in
Beneath its gloomy sky

Watch out my love, watch out
Before the woodlark sings
Dream a while among his notes
To welcome back the spring

Watch before the snows return
With its wild Atlantic skies
Feel the lonely weary face
Standing by your side

Island strangers, they trouble our lands
A fire waits in their eyes

Watch out my love, watch out
Before the woodlark sings
Dream a while among his notes
To welcome back the spring

Watch out my love, watch out
Before the trees are bare
Hear the woodlark singing on
His sad and mournful air
