My Love Is a Well
[Verse 1: Daoirí Farrell]
Oh my love is a well, a deep dropping-well
As deep as the bottomless sea
Immersed am I in the well of my love
Immersed in ecstasy
Immersed in ecstasy
[Verse 2]
Oh my love is an eagle and fierce is her cry
As she calls me to mate with her for to fly
Through the land of the mountain and the mist and the sky
Where our young eagles scream at the dawning
Where our young eagles scream at the dawning
[Verse 3]
Oh my love is a fraughan, royal purple and black
A fraughan that dwells by the rude mountain track
And we'll sink deep our roots in this mountain’s broad back
And our seed will spread over the mountain
And our seed will spread over the mountain
[Verse 4]
Oh my love is a flower, so shy to behold
A primrose emerging from winter's cold
A song of the dream-time that's new but yet old
And I love my bright love till the dawning
And I love my bright love till the dawning
