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

Very beautiful lyrics, music, singing and playing. It has a timeless beauty, hypnotic and nostalgic. I can imagine your song in the movie. It has a very strong feel for a movie scene and it would really bring more feel in it. Love it. The chorus is so catchy. I love the whole song but I think the chorus and the violin parts stand out for me. The pause, speaking and the flute and fiddle coming to play painted a gorgeous conclusion.
