Lyrics
[Verse]
In the moon's gentle light
Whispers of old knights
With hearts bold as fire
Seeking love’s desire
[Verse 2]
Through the forest so deep
Where shadows dare to creep
There a maiden so fair
Sings her secret prayer
[Chorus]
Oh Scarborough night
With stars gleaming bright
Hold my true love tight
Till dawn’s early light
[Verse]
In the castle so high
Underneath the sky
Echoes of the past
In memories, they last
[Bridge]
Gentle Lute's lullaby
Makes the spirits fly
Harm’s strong hand defied
Love’s sweet tear has dried
[Verse 3]
By the river so cold
Tales of love unfold
With each gentle sigh
Hearts will never die
[Chorus 2]
Oh Scarborough breeze
Through the ancient trees
Carry my heart's pleas
Till the moment it frees
[Verse 4]
Underneath the willow tree
Where lovers' souls run free
Whispers on the wind
Of love, that’s never sinned
[Verse 5]
In the meadows of gold
Where stories are told
Of a love pure and true
A bond that forever grew
[Chorus 3]
Oh Scarborough dawn
Where dreams are reborn
Guide my love, be sworn
Till the daylight has drawn
[Outro]
In the quiet of the night
When the world’s out of sight
Love’s eternal light
Shall burn ever bright
