Lyrics Two Island Swans - Christy Moore
Two
island
swans,
mated
for
life,
And
his
faithful
heart
would
not
consider
any
other
wife.
For
three
years
peaceful
joy
midst
the
rushes
of
the
pond,
Proud
and
gentle
was
the
loving
of
the
last
two
island
swans.
Their
love
was
like
a
circle,
no
beginning
and
no
end,
With
his
lady
by
his
side
a
treasure
and
best
friend.
The
pond
was
all
so
peaceful
in
the
rising
of
the
sun,
Young
and
free
at
the
island
breeze
their
life
had
just
begun.
'Til
a
dread
day
in
November
when
the
searing
cold
did
start,
Stalked
the
hunter
with
his
bow
and
put
an
arrow
through
her
heart.
Husband
come
to
my
side
let
your
feathers
warm
my
pain,
For
I
feel
I
will
not
spend
another
day
with
you
again.
And
the
cold
winds
blow,
He
was
brave
but
he's
laid
low.
By
her
body
in
the
isle
of
mist,
I
saw
him
give
her
one
last
cold
kiss,
one
last
cold
kiss.
Of
swans
the
people
talk
of
only
one
in
this
days
tide,
Through
they
brought
him
twenty
ladies
he
would
take
no
other
bride.
They
say
he
will
not
move
from
the
place
where
she
did
fall,
Once
so
proud
he's
beaten
now
and
he
will
not
rise
at
all.
