Many Moons Ago lyrics

A night of december, so dark and cold,

I walked a path ages old

The moon amongst the clouds revealed

Lightning valleys, forest and field

Embraced by silence I wandered the moor

An endless landscape by my side

When in the mist I saw a light

Dancing through the hazy night

I stood and watched the play in awe

Was deeply touched by what I saw

I told my friends what I did see

And what they told did tremble me!

It's said the ghost of a young, fair maid

Is cursed to dwell beneath the shade

Of the olden oak she died below

O that was many moons ago
