Jay Ungar, Melody, Grian MacGregor, Words - Ashokan Farewell

from Where the Heron Waits by Betty and the Baby Boomers

lyrics

The sun is sinking low in the hills above Ashokan.
The pines and the willows know soon we will part.
There's a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken,
And a love that will always remain in my heart.

My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter,
The magic of moving as one,
And a time we'll remember long even after
The moonlight and music and dancing are done.

Will we climb the hills once more?
Will we walk the woods together?
Will I feel you holding me close once again?
Will every song we've sung stay with us forever?
Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?

Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping
Over the lake the stars shine.
Ah they wonder if you and I will be keeping
The moonlight and music, or leave them behind.

Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping
The magic of moving as one
They wonder if you and I will be keeping
The moonlight and music or part when they're done
