'Neath the Moon and the Morning Star

I've come to stand above the strand

Where I walked so long ago

And I fondly recall when love was all

And I gave my heart below

One magic night by fire bright

As waves caressed the shore

I laughed and I cried by a young girl's side

Knowing well I would see her no more.

The sea birds circled over he side

And the sun broke o'er the bar.

Once love was a flower at that earliest hour

'Neath the moon and the morning star.

Now I've spent my time without reason or rhyme

Crossing over the restless lands

And the heard that I've known as a youth has flown

Back to the shelter of memory's hands

Oh, fleeting time, oh, fleeting time

Your passing cannot chill

The warmth of that night by the fire bright

And in my arms I will hold her still

The Sea bird circles over the tide

And the day breaks o'er the sea.

Once I was the wild and foolish child

And she was the world to me.

Once I was the wild and foolish child

And she was the world to me.
