Away With The Fairies Lyrics - Singles - Saw Doctors

Tall, graceful, beautiful and noble, masters of all arts and alchemy 

The tuatha de danann ruled Ireland until the coming of the Celtic people. Retreating before the rougher ways of the invaders. The people of Danann (or Danu) Inhabited the high lonely places, eventually disappearing under ground in their fairy forts, and the hills like Cnoc medha (or hill on the plain) near Tuam where Fin Bhera , King of Connacht fairies lives with Nula , his queen , and a host of the Sidhe. 

Called "Fairies" "the Good Folk" " the Gentry" "The wee Folk" or Sidhe(pronounced Shee) they love feasting , singing , dancing and music. Whenever they play their pipes you can hear their music as clear as day and it is the grandest kind of music. It may last half the night but once day comes it ends. 

Twilight, dawn, May and November eve are all times of the change when the mysterious entrance to the world of the fairies may become visible! A Human who becomes enchanted on hearing fairy music, and dances all night on the hill will never return to the world of the humans and is referred to as being "away with the fairies" 

A twinkle of light 

Coming down from the mountain 

A wonderful, magical 

Sound from the hill 

A sound half-forgotten 

But still here inside me 

It calls me s gently 

I shiver and trill 

And we'll dance all night on 

The hill 

We'll go away with the fairies 

Back to fields 

And we'll climb the hill 

Away with the fairies 

Ah c'mon please say you will 

Ah c'com please say you will 

We can go to the world 

Of the legends and twilight 

The world of the wee-folk 

The fairy, the sidhe 

If we dance to their music 

We'll stay there forever 

In the misty oul' moonlight 

The dawn of the free 

And we'll dance and dance and dance 

And dance 

We'll dance all night 

On the hill
