Christy Moore Nancy Spain Lyrics

Nancy Spain Lyrics

Of all the stars that ever shone
Not one does twinkle like your pale blue
eyes
Like golden corn at harvest time your hair
Sailing in my boat the
wind
Gently blows and fills my sail
Your sweet-scented breath is
everywhere

Daylight peeping through the curtain
Of the passing night
time is your smile
And the sun in the sky is like your laugh
Come back to
me my Nancy
Linger for just a little while
Since you left these shores
I've known no peace
Nor joy

Chorus:
No matter where I wander I'm
still haunted
by your name
The portrait of your beauty stays the
same
Standing by the ocean wondering where you've
gone, if you'll return
again
Where is the ring I gave to Nancy Spain

On the day in Spring
when snow starts to melt
And streams to flow
With the birds I'll sing
this song
Then in the while I'll wander
Down by bluebell stream where
wild flowers grow
And I'll hope that lovely Nancy will return

Chorus
