She Moves Through The Fair Lyrics - Fairport Convention

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 laid her hand on me and this she did say 

"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding-day" 

And she went away from me and moved through the fair 

And fondly I watched her move here and move there 

And then she went onward, just one star awake 

Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake 

Last night she came to me, my dead love came in 

So softly she came that her feet made no din 

And she laid her hand on me and this she did say 

"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding-day"
