Linger on, oh waning moon

This midnight hour has come much too soon

By the crystal lake we stand with our names in the sand

Believe me, my Love; I will wait for you

And I will return if you still want me, too

With the song of the nightswan And I'll be in heaven!

The lark heralds the break of day

No longer by my side can you stay

In shrouded mists you disappear like a ghost bayadere

Where are you my Love? I'm calling your name

This spell can be broke: Love's ignited the flame

Like the song of the nightswan And I'll be in heaven!

Oh, believe me. my Love, I will stand laying siege to this fortress of time

With the glory of you in my heart charge before the sun touches the rime

The Beltane fires upon the hill

Your hand in mine by the old water-mill Fairies

sing our wedding song, now the moon lingers on.

Stay with me. my Love. my Angel, my Life

We walked this dark maze so now we will fly

On the wings of the nightswan And we'll be in heaven
