Baobhan Sith

I journey through these hunting grounds
To a shieling in the wooded grove
Night descends upon me now
To the call of a hooded crow

This hearth though a meager home
Is a comfort that I welcome now
Standing though the timbers moan
To the song of the winds without
The dance of the firelight
Invites my eyes to close in rest
But the chorus of the wind outside
Is broken by a voice that says

Come my love and sway with me
Underneath the elder trees
For I am the baobhan sith
Darling, close your eyes
Come my love and sway with me
Underneath the elder trees
For I am the baobhan sith
Darling, close your eyes

I hesitate to step outside
To see what waits for me in the dark
But a scarlet shine within her eyes
Demands that my senses depart
I approach and take her hand
But her touch is as cold as the grave
I realize too late where I am
For I cannot stop her embrace

Come my love and sway with me
Underneath the elder trees
For I am the baobhan sith
Darling, close your eyes
Come my love and sway with me
Underneath the elder trees
For I am the baobhan sith
Darling, close your eyes

Come my love and sway with me
Underneath the elder trees
For I am the baobhan sith
Darling, close your eyes
Come my love and sway with me
Underneath the elder trees
For I am the baobhan sith
And the Sun is set to rise
