Anna - She Moved Through The Fair Lyrics

My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind

And she stepped away from me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
'till our wedding day

She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there

And when she went homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake

Last night she came to me
And she came softly in
So softly she came that
Her feet made no din

And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
'till our wedding day

It will not be long love
'till our wedding day

If I were an eagle
And had wings to fly
I would fly to my love's castle
And it's there I would lie

On that bed of green ivy
I would lay myself down
And it's with my two fond wings
I would my love surround

And it's with my two fond wings
I would my love surround
