《Lovers Leap》歌词

[00:00:00] Lovers Leap - John Spillane

[00:00:20] About a mile from mallow town

[00:00:22] There is a place called lover's leap

[00:00:25] A beauty spot of great renown

[00:00:28] A jagged rock that rises steep

[00:00:31] A lonely cliff above the deep

[00:00:34] Blackwater

[00:00:40] The gentry planted all these trees

[00:00:43] The oak the beech and the lonely pine

[00:00:45] And courting couples often please

[00:00:48] To wander there and take their time

[00:00:51] And breathe the beauty by the shining

[00:00:55] River

[00:01:01] About a hundred years ago

[00:01:03] Or so the local people tell

[00:01:06] Under a weight of great sorrow

[00:01:09] A handsome courting couple fell

[00:01:12] To their doom inside the great

[00:01:15] Blackwater

[00:01:21] Lover's leap

[00:01:29] Together in blissful peace

[00:01:31] Forever in endless peace

[00:01:49] A catholic and protestant

[00:01:52] Had fallen for each other's charms

[00:01:55] Their families would not consent

[00:01:57] They fled and sought each other's arms

[00:02:00] They sought each other's arms and fled

[00:02:04] And dived into their marriage bed

[00:02:07] Inside the cold

[00:02:09] Blackwater

[00:02:14] They reached the rocky height that night

[00:02:17] One last kiss one last embrace

[00:02:19] They cried and held each other tight

[00:02:22] Then stepping into endless space

[00:02:25] They wandered out into the air

[00:02:28] And left this earth for ever more

[00:02:31] And reached the sad

[00:02:33] Blackwater

[00:02:38] Their bodied wrapped in endless night

[00:02:41] Their souls sailed on into the bright

[00:02:44] Encircling stars and the caring moon

[00:02:47] The sun shone down upon their love

[00:02:49] From heaven's branches high above the great

[00:02:55] Blackwater

[00:03:01] Lover's leap

[00:03:08] Together in blissful peace

[00:03:11] Forever in endless peace

[00:03:18] The priest he offered up the host

[00:03:21] The river offered up the moon

[00:03:23] And Jesus wept to see his name

[00:03:26] Divided in a crazy game

[00:03:29] And Mary sent an angel down

[00:03:32] Who wandered on through mallow town

[00:03:35] And reached the sad

[00:03:37] Blackwater

[00:03:43] Lover's leap

[00:03:51] Together in blissful peace

[00:03:53] Forever in endless peace

[00:04:01] Lover's leap

[00:04:08] Together in blissful peace

[00:04:11] Forever in endless peace

[00:04:29] About a mile from mallow town

[00:04:32] There is a place called lover's leap

[00:04:34] A beauty spot of great renown

[00:04:37] A jagged rock that rises steep

[00:04:40] A lonely cliff above the deep

[00:04:44] Blackwater
