The fair folk dance The fair folk sing The fair folk step in the magic ring Tread not here 'til the light of day Or the fair folk steal your soul away Gold and silver shine all 'round In a thousand lights on the dancing ground Oh come not here at the fall of night Where the fair folk dance in the waning light Tall and proud and wondrous fair The people of the dark and air Hold high the iron that they fear When the fair folk call, don't let them near In the hollow hills the old ones throng And click their bones to the ceilidh's song The banshee wails in the darkling night The fair folk dance 'til the morning light The fair folk dance The fair folk sing The fair folk step in the magic ring Tread not here 'til the light of day Or the fair folk steal your soul away Seven years spent out of time And all is lost that once was mine I tarried once and listened long To the echoes of the fair folk's song The fair folk dance The fair folk sing The fair folk step in the magic ring Tread not here 'til the light of day Or the fair folk steal your soul away
