She Moved Through The Fair lyrics - 10000 Maniacs

My young love said to me, "My mother won't mind

And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind."

And he stepped away from me and this he did say

"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."

He stepped away from me and he moved through the fair

And so fondly I watched him move here and move there

Then he made his way homeward with one star awake

As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

Well I dreamt last night that my dead love came in

And so softly he moved that his feet made no din

Then he came close beside me and this he did say

"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."

Till our wedding day

Till our wedding day

Day, day, day, day...
