[ti:The Mummers' Dance] [ar:Loreena McKennitt] [al:The Book of Secrets] [offset:500] [00:07.69]The Mummers' Dance (Loreena McKennitt) [00:39.26] [01:08.61] [01:11.02]When in the springtime of the year [01:14.98]When the trees are crowned with leaves [01:19.12]When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew [01:23.17]Are dressed in ribbons fair [01:26.30] [01:27.17]When owls call the breathless moon [01:31.00]In the blue veil of the night [01:35.17]The shadows of the trees appear [01:39.02]Amidst the lantern light [01:42.89] [01:43.38]We've been rambling all the night [01:47.21]And some time of this day [01:51.39]Now returning back again [01:55.00]We bring a garland gay [01:59.58] [02:15.29]Who will go down to those shady groves [02:19.12]And summon the shadows there [02:23.13]And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms [02:26.79]In the springtime of the year [02:30.01] [02:30.95]The songs of birds seem to fill the wood [02:34.66]That when the fiddler plays [02:39.00]All their voices can be heard [02:42.61]Long past their woodland days [02:46.20] [02:47.18]We've been rambling all the night [02:51.02]And some time of this day [02:55.13]Now returning back again [02:58.73]We bring a garland gay [03:03.27] [03:50.86]And so they linked their hands and danced [03:54.76]Round in circles and in rows [03:58.91]And so the journey of the night descends [04:02.69]When all the shades are gone [04:05.80] [04:07.00]"A garland gay we bring you here [04:10.71]And at your door we stand [04:14.67]It is a sprout well budded out [04:18.78]The work of our Lord's hand" [04:21.71] [04:22.79]We've been rambling all the night [04:26.59]And some time of this day [04:30.47]Now returning back again [04:34.15]We bring a garland gay [04:38.00] [04:38.70]We've been rambling all the night [04:42.48]And some time of this day [04:46.46]Now returning back again [04:50.28]We bring a garland gay [04:58.18] [05:10.94] [05:41.30][THE END]
