《Lovers Leap》歌词

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

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

[00:00:03] There is a place called lover's leap

[00:00:06] A beauty spot of great renown

[00:00:09] A jagged rock that rises steep

[00:00:12] A lonely cliff above the deep

[00:00:15] Black water

[00:00:21] The gentry planted all these trees

[00:00:24] The oak the beech and the lonely pine

[00:00:27] And courting couples sometimes please

[00:00:29] To wander there and take their time

[00:00:32] And breathe the beauty by the shining

[00:00:36] River

[00:00:41] About a hundred years ago

[00:00:44] Or so the local people tell

[00:00:47] Under a weight of great sorrow

[00:00:49] A handsome courting couple fell

[00:00:53] To their doom inside the dark

[00:00:56] Black water

[00:01:02] Lover's leap

[00:01:10] Together in endless peace

[00:01:13] Forever in blissful sleep

[00:01:30] A Catholic and Protestant

[00:01:33] Had fallen for each other's charms

[00:01:36] Their families would not consent

[00:01:38] They fled and sought each other's arms

[00:01:42] They sought each other's arms and fled

[00:01:45] And dived into their marriage bed

[00:01:48] Inside the cold

[00:01:50] Black water

[00:01:55] They reached the rocky height that night

[00:01:58] One last kiss one last embrace

[00:02:01] They cried and held each other tight

[00:02:03] Then stepping into endless space

[00:02:06] They wandered out into the air

[00:02:09] And left this earth for ever more

[00:02:12] And reached the sad

[00:02:14] Black water

[00:02:19] Their bodied wrapped in endless night

[00:02:22] Their souls sailed on into the bright

[00:02:25] Encircling stars and the caring moon

[00:02:28] The sun shone down upon their love

[00:02:30] From heaven's branches high above the dark

[00:02:36] Black water

[00:02:42] Lover's leap

[00:02:49] Together in endless peace

[00:02:52] Forever in blissful sleep

[00:02:59] The priest he offered up the host

[00:03:02] The river offered up the moon

[00:03:04] And Jesus wept to see his name

[00:03:07] Divided in a crazy game

[00:03:10] And Mary sent an angel down

[00:03:13] Who wandered on through mallow town

[00:03:16] And reached the great

[00:03:18] Black water

[00:03:24] Lover's leap

[00:03:32] Together in endless peace

[00:03:34] Forever in blissful sleep
