lyrics

The Elfin Knight

Summer it was coming
And the fog of dawn was gone
When she rode out to find the one
that sang that haunting song

Silver was the light upon her hair and on the leaves
Golden was the voice that sang so sweetly through the trees

Are you the one that haunts me when I lay asleep at night
Oh yes my lady I’m the one they call
the Elfin Knight

Seven king’s daughters I killed You’ll be number eight
Than he took his horn and blew away her scarlet plaid

Oh come oh come oh come with me
to the waters of the well
I’ll come if I may blow your horn and you may ring my bell

She undressed the knight and took his sword
To the ground his head it fell
Broke his horn and kissed his lips and lived to tell
