Years ago I knew a girl
Softer than moon light Smooth as a pearl
Golden hair and eyes like the sea
But wild of spirit and sworn to stay free
Many a lad...
Years ago I knew a girl
Softer than moon light Smooth as a pearl
Golden hair and eyes like the sea
But wild of spirit and sworn to stay free
Many a lad tried to win her heart
With laughter and scorn she bade them depart
No lad was I when I first saw her charms
I patiently waited till she came to my arms
Ten years have passed and she’s bloomed like a rose
My hair has gone silver while hers is still gold
I know that some day a man in his prime
Will steel her away and leave me to die

Love Celtic music...This piece by you is no exception....Has a "pull" to it that makes me feel homesick for Lancashire, in England...Heartfelt lyrics....This really is a beautiful song and well worth the listen...
Peace n love Mags

Hey FP!... when I heard this last night on Nexus..I was completely "blown like a rose"
Easily one of the best written and performed celtic gernre toons i have heard on a OMD site.
My favorite all time celtic ( style) of music was the CAL soundtrack that Mark Knopher put out some years back...and still to this day it can stop me in my tracks...as this one has done!
Beautifully written and performed.
The Irish blood in me was warmed my friend. Thank you. Excellent work.

Excellent voicings on the traditional instruments.
Good story song in the oral traditions of all things Celtic.

I just love this sound.........ya want to do a cocert together? [lol] Excellant recording lovely instruments, I really like the dry vocal approach. Don't change anything is my input.

Great vocals............heart-felt lyrics. An excellent song. A very live feel with the guitar body percussion. The string instruments and the flute were all top notch.
Great job !!

I tried for a more "live" feel here. Mellowtube did the flute work - everything else is my fault ( with mic - percussion is me beating on the guitar body, etc. )
Celtic is a fun style to work with.

Very lovely folk style song. Good singing; emotive and expressive. Mandolin I play, but not as much as I used to, -do love the sound of it here, works well. Good lyrics; story told well. Reminds me of Canadian east coast folk song style. Perfect selection of instruments, -flute -tapping, & percussives and all.
Excellent.

I like this in its current form. It has a genuine Celtic feel to it. A very nice selection of instruments to achieve the feel, and (of course) the vocal performance is spot-on!
Well done!

Nice peice of music, Folk / Celtic in it's best form. Personally I like the sound of the Mandolin and would leave it.
