Lovers Leap - John Spillane[00:00:00]
About a mile from mallow town[00:00:00]
There is a place called lover's leap[00:00:03]
A beauty spot of great renown[00:00:06]
A jagged rock that rises steep[00:00:09]
A lonely cliff above the deep[00:00:12]
Black water[00:00:15]
The gentry planted all these trees[00:00:21]
The oak the beech and the lonely pine[00:00:24]
And courting couples sometimes please[00:00:27]
To wander there and take their time[00:00:29]
And breathe the beauty by the shining[00:00:32]
River[00:00:36]
About a hundred years ago[00:00:41]
Or so the local people tell[00:00:44]
Under a weight of great sorrow[00:00:47]
A handsome courting couple fell[00:00:49]
To their doom inside the dark[00:00:53]
Black water[00:00:56]
Lover's leap[00:01:02]
Together in endless peace[00:01:10]
Forever in blissful sleep[00:01:13]
A Catholic and Protestant[00:01:30]
Had fallen for each other's charms[00:01:33]
Their families would not consent[00:01:36]
They fled and sought each other's arms[00:01:38]
They sought each other's arms and fled[00:01:42]
And dived into their marriage bed[00:01:45]
Inside the cold[00:01:48]
Black water[00:01:50]
They reached the rocky height that night[00:01:55]
One last kiss one last embrace[00:01:58]
They cried and held each other tight[00:02:01]
Then stepping into endless space[00:02:03]
They wandered out into the air[00:02:06]
And left this earth for ever more[00:02:09]
And reached the sad[00:02:12]
Black water[00:02:14]
Their bodied wrapped in endless night[00:02:19]
Their souls sailed on into the bright[00:02:22]
Encircling stars and the caring moon[00:02:25]
The sun shone down upon their love[00:02:28]
From heaven's branches high above the dark[00:02:30]
Black water[00:02:36]
Lover's leap[00:02:42]
Together in endless peace[00:02:49]
Forever in blissful sleep[00:02:52]
The priest he offered up the host[00:02:59]
The river offered up the moon[00:03:02]
And Jesus wept to see his name[00:03:04]
Divided in a crazy game[00:03:07]
And Mary sent an angel down[00:03:10]
Who wandered on through mallow town[00:03:13]
And reached the great[00:03:16]
Black water[00:03:18]
Lover's leap[00:03:24]
Together in endless peace[00:03:32]
Forever in blissful sleep[00:03:34]
