Fängs: Molly of the Mists

Molly of the Mists [Verse I] Rolling down the hills, Thick the mist came down; Winter wrapped the Highlands With his heavy white gown. [Verse II] They say she walks the moors, Wanders amongst the boulders, Stooped beneath her burden Carried upon her shoulders. [Verse III] She whispers soft at dusk, Woefully wails at night; Her echoes haunt the lochs, Lamenting endless blight. [Verse IV] They say she once was a jolly lass Tending her father's sheep; Yet one day cruel Fate decreed All from her life to sweep. [Verse V] She stepped within her father's house As daylight withered away; From rafters hung her family, Silent they did sway. [Verse VI] Molly stared at her father's hands, White in the cold night's air; She gently stroked her mother's feet, Softly caressed her hair. [Verse VII] Her two young twin brothers, In eerie silence hung; She could not mourn or cry; The horror stayed her tongue. [Verse VIII] 'Twas the Hammer of the Scots, King Edward Longshanks' men; They massacred her family, The Hammer had struck again. [Chorus] Molly of the Mists, Where the lonely curlews cry, Still your footsteps haunt the moors, 'Neath the cold Highland sky. Molly of the Mists, In Winter's mists you roam, Still your sorrow haunts the Highlands, Nevermore to find a home. [Verse IX] They say her poor mind was lost, She wandered till she died; Yet still she walked the Highlands, Across the lochs she cried. [Final Chorus] Molly of the Mists, Where the lonely curlews cry, Still your footsteps haunt the moors, 'Neath the cold Highland sky. Molly of the Mists, In Winter's mists you roam, Still your sorrow haunts the Highlands, Nevermore to find a home.
