Song Description

Memories of a childhood sweetheart and the first experience of love

Lyrics

When the ravens at your window and the snow falls on your sill,
When the suns gone down by the eventide and the moons rides on the hill. When the shadows on your path are long and the hush is broken by a voice down in the valley singing ?come home Danny Boy?

When you catch the Northern lights across the starlit icy sky
And the sudden breeze reminds you of another year gone by
Do you ever, in your loneliness think about when we were young?
Of a thousand dreams and wishes, of a song born to be sung?

Do you ever think of the time two lovers hand in hand?
Who swore they?d never part and a pact made in sand
When they kissed beneath the castle walls, where the silent river ran, The girl not yet a woman, the boy, not yet a man.

An innocence of worldliness, bereft of spite or greed,
Two people in a universe, two souls, one love, one need.
The vow they made with honest hearts from a mortal world and yet
The dust of time has fallen, who pays should she forget

But I remember you, I remember every scene,
I see the wonder in your eye, your youth, my evergreen,
The sunlight in your hair, the softness of your skin,
Still feel the sun across my back; still feel the joy from within.


And now that life is over, and we move in different worlds,
Your skin is white; my coat is black, as black as liquid pearls
Time has run through the hour glass since we walked hand in hand
The winds of time have blown away the footsteps in the sand

When I land upon your window and feel the snow upon your sill
Do you ever think of my love, when the moon rides on the hill
When the shadows on your path are long and the hush is broken by
A voice down in the valley singing ?come home Danny Boy?
