Dublin Fair Now And Ever After Lyrics

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.
