Lyrics Port Erin Fair - ILYA

Port Erin Fair

From the east a dust cloud rose — dark against the sky
I knew then they were after us
By noon next day we came upon a well that had run dry
I preyed then for a miracle
I thought back to the time — an island fresh and green
The sun in your hair — your face all the joy I had seen
We walked to Port Erin fair — your hand slips into mine
O why did I leave — to sail over oceans in time
So bitter now the wine
We hid inside a roofless church — waiting for to die
While birds of prey were circling
I held the ring you gave to me — so tightly in my hand
And knew one day we’d meet a again
In a dream you came to me — dried blood upon your head
You took my hand and spoke to me
There is a place I’m going to — no vale of tears you said
And one day you will join me there
