Lovers Leap - John Spillane[00:00:00]
About a mile from mallow town[00:00:20]
There is a place called lover's leap[00:00:22]
A beauty spot of great renown[00:00:25]
A jagged rock that rises steep[00:00:28]
A lonely cliff above the deep[00:00:31]
Blackwater[00:00:34]
The gentry planted all these trees[00:00:40]
The oak the beech and the lonely pine[00:00:43]
And courting couples often please[00:00:45]
To wander there and take their time[00:00:48]
And breathe the beauty by the shining[00:00:51]
River[00:00:55]
About a hundred years ago[00:01:01]
Or so the local people tell[00:01:03]
Under a weight of great sorrow[00:01:06]
A handsome courting couple fell[00:01:09]
To their doom inside the great[00:01:12]
Blackwater[00:01:15]
Lover's leap[00:01:21]
Together in blissful peace[00:01:29]
Forever in endless peace[00:01:31]
A catholic and protestant[00:01:49]
Had fallen for each other's charms[00:01:52]
Their families would not consent[00:01:55]
They fled and sought each other's arms[00:01:57]
They sought each other's arms and fled[00:02:00]
And dived into their marriage bed[00:02:04]
Inside the cold[00:02:07]
Blackwater[00:02:09]
They reached the rocky height that night[00:02:14]
One last kiss one last embrace[00:02:17]
They cried and held each other tight[00:02:19]
Then stepping into endless space[00:02:22]
They wandered out into the air[00:02:25]
And left this earth for ever more[00:02:28]
And reached the sad[00:02:31]
Blackwater[00:02:33]
Their bodied wrapped in endless night[00:02:38]
Their souls sailed on into the bright[00:02:41]
Encircling stars and the caring moon[00:02:44]
The sun shone down upon their love[00:02:47]
From heaven's branches high above the great[00:02:49]
Blackwater[00:02:55]
Lover's leap[00:03:01]
Together in blissful peace[00:03:08]
Forever in endless peace[00:03:11]
The priest he offered up the host[00:03:18]
The river offered up the moon[00:03:21]
And Jesus wept to see his name[00:03:23]
Divided in a crazy game[00:03:26]
And Mary sent an angel down[00:03:29]
Who wandered on through mallow town[00:03:32]
And reached the sad[00:03:35]
Blackwater[00:03:37]
Lover's leap[00:03:43]
Together in blissful peace[00:03:51]
Forever in endless peace[00:03:53]
Lover's leap[00:04:01]
Together in blissful peace[00:04:08]
Forever in endless peace[00:04:11]
About a mile from mallow town[00:04:29]
There is a place called lover's leap[00:04:32]
A beauty spot of great renown[00:04:34]
A jagged rock that rises steep[00:04:37]
A lonely cliff above the deep[00:04:40]
Blackwater[00:04:44]
