[00:00.00]Loreena McKennitt - Standing Stones [00:38.05]Music by Loreena McKennitt [00:43.05]Lyrics traditional, arr. by Loreena McKennitt [00:48.05] [00:53.05]In one of these lonely Orkney Isles [00:56.81]There dwelled a maiden fair. [01:00.18]Her cheeks were red, her eyes were blue [01:03.75]She had yellow curling hair. [01:07.22]Which caught the eye and then the heart [01:11.06]Of one who could never be [01:14.60]A lover of so true a maid [01:18.31]Or fair a form as she. [01:21.22] [01:23.51]Across the lake in Sandwick [01:26.96]Dwelled a youth she held most true, [01:30.52]And ever since her infancy [01:34.00]He had watched those eyes so blue. [01:37.51]The land runs out into the sea - [01:41.03]It's a narrow neck of land - [01:44.45]Where weird and grim the Standing Stones [01:48.09]In a circle where they stand. [01:52.21] [02:08.99]One bonny moonlight Christmas Eve [02:12.53]They met at that sad place [02:15.81]With her heart in glee and the beams of love [02:19.56]Were shining on her face. [02:22.80]When her lover came and he grasped her hand [02:26.51]What loving words they said. [02:29.83]They talked of future's happy days [02:33.51]As through the stones they strayed. [02:37.04] [02:38.70]They walked toward the lovers' stone [02:42.39]And through it passed their hands. [02:45.62]They plighted there a constant troth [02:49.23]Sealed by love's steadfast bands. [02:52.74]He kissed his maid and then he watched her [02:56.62]That lonely bridge go o'er. [02:59.63]For little, little did he think [03:03.18]He wouldn't see his darling more.

[03:22.57] [03:37.67]He turned his face toward his home [03:41.30]That home he did never see. [03:44.42]And you shall have the story [03:48.09]As it was told to me. [03:51.38]When a form upon him sprang [03:54.86]With a dagger gleaming bright, [03:58.29]It pierced his heart and dying screams [04:01.89]Disturbed the silent night. [04:06.73] [04:41.88]This maid had nearly reached her home [04:45.05]When she was startled by a cry. [04:48.42]She turned to look around her [04:51.63]And her love was standing by, [04:55.33]His hand was pointing to the stars [04:58.92]His eyes glazed at the light, [05:02.24]And with a smiling countenance [05:05.87]He vanished from her sight. [05:09.23] [05:10.86]She quickly turned and home she ran [05:14.44]Not a word of this was said, [05:17.77]For well she knew at seeing his form [05:21.58]That her faithful love was dead. [05:24.63]And from that day she pined away, [05:28.11]Not a smile seen on her face. [05:31.58]With outstretched arms she went to meet him [05:35.31]In a brighter place.
