Two Island Swans (Live) - Christy Moore
Written by：Pappalardi/Collins
Thank you very much
Two island swans mated for life
And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife
For three years peaceful joy midst the rushes of the
Pond
Proud and gentle was the loving of the last two
Island swans
Their love was like a circle no beginning and no
End
With his lady by his side a treasure and best
Friend
And the pond was all so peaceful in the rising of
The sun
Young and free at the island breeze their life had
Just begun
'Til a dread day in november when the searing cold
Did start
Stalked the hunter with his bow and put an arrow
Through her heart
Husband come to my side let your feathers warm my
Pain
For I feel I will not spend another day with
You again
And the cold winds blow
He was brave but he's laid low
By her body in the isle of mist
I saw him give her one last cold kiss one
Last cold kiss
Of swans the people talk of only one in this
Days tide
Through they brought him twenty ladies he would take no
Other bride
They say he will not move from the place where
She did fall
Once so proud he's beaten now and he will not
Speak at all
And the cold winds blow
He was brave but he's laid low
By her body in the isle of mist
I saw him give her one last cold kiss one
Last cold kiss
Cold kiss
Two island swans mated for life
And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife
