In the Merry Month of May,
I watch the flowers blooming
And everything's ok
Sweet and gentle is the air
The world a sea of colour
How wondrous to be there
And slowly from the morning
A brand new world arises
Feels like my very own
So beautiful the meadow
That I will think no more of
A love I should have known.
In the merry month of May
The world is full of new life,
Bad memories fade away.
Verdant fields of deepest green
Brought on by April showers
Shame Heaven's greatest scene
I hear the blackbird singing
A song of celebration
Declaring it his own
And as the whole world listens,
He'll surely think no more of
A love he should have known
Blackbird, do you know what time it is?
Or do you think it's only just starting now,
The world before your eyes?
In the merry month of May
The morning sun shines brightly
And everything's ok.
Winter wind has long-since blown
And I will think no more of
A love I should have known.

Cold frost sits on the willow tree
Where song birds once did bide
In fields sparkling so radiantly
And it's still cold outside
New stillness breathes the breath of dawn
Where laughing trees made merry
A distant sun shines far away
In time extraordinary
In slumber deep, sweet memories keep
And glad things we betide
Till summer rain, best we remain,
For it's still cold outside
New stillness breathes the breath of dawn
Where laughing trees made merry
A distant sun shines far away
In time extraordinary
Through whispering streams
Tomorrow's dreams stand
Gently by our side
Sweet blossoms will our senses, fill,
But it's still cold outside
Yes, it's still cold outside.

A SONG TO THE COQUET
03:06
|

Flow gently, flow softly,
Thou clear winding Coquet
Go murmur thy sweet music down to the sea.
Ah, many the memories born on thy bosom
Flow softly thou silver stream, pleasant to me.
Born mid thy Cheviots, blue, forth
Thou are brimming,
Leaping in wild cascades
O'er mountain side.
Down the wild rocky glen,
Fairy-like stealing
Now o'er the green valley,
Thou singing dost glide.
Fair are the bonnie banks
Kissed by the waters
In thy pearly pools gleaming
The leaping trout play
While on thy bright bosom
The sunbeams are glancing
As fast to the lowlands thou'rt hasting away.
By the side oft I've wandered and
Sweet were the moments
While passing thy beauties
And blessed by thy smile.
Care took her flight away
Daring no more to stay
Thy lips breathing health to me
Softly the while.
Flow on gentle Coquet
And blessings go with thee
And blessed be the hearts
In thy hamlets that dwell,
Though for a while
I reluctantly leave thee,
I trust not forever
Fair thee well, fair thee well.

Come, take my hand,
Lead me toward the sunrise
Waken my soul and fill me with pride.
While I am here, my heart beats strongly
For those bonnie hills of Simonside.
Come, take my hand,
Lead me o'er the water,
Through bright green meadows
That stretch far and wide,
Take me toward my heaven o'er yonder,
Up to those bonnie hills of Simonside.
Lay me to rest, 'neath the call of the skylark,
May all my tears by that wind be dried,
And may my soul forever wander
Over those bonnie hills of Simonside.
Come, take my hand, lead me toward the morning,
Through those spring mists where new-born lambs hide
And as the deer come down to drink from the Coquet
My spirit will never thirst on Simonside.
