The Mummer's Dance-John Tesh

[00:07.19]The Mummers' Dance (Loreena McKennitt) [00:38.76] [01:10.52]When in the springtime of the year [01:14.48]When the trees are crowned with leaves [01:18.62]When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew [01:22.67]Are dressed in ribbons fair [01:25.80] [01:26.67]When owls call the breathless moon [01:30.50]In the blue veil of the night [01:34.67]The shadows of the trees appear [01:38.52]Amidst the lantern light [01:42.39] [01:42.88]We've been rambling all the night [01:46.71]And some time of this day [01:50.89]Now returning back again [01:54.50]We bring a garland gay [01:59.08] [02:14.79]Who will go down to those shady groves [02:18.62]And summon the shadows there [02:22.63]And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms [02:26.29]In the springtime of the year [02:29.51] [02:30.45]The songs of birds seem to fill the wood [02:34.16]That when the fiddler plays [02:38.50]All their voices can be heard [02:42.11]Long past their woodland days [02:45.70] [02:46.68]We've been rambling all the night [02:50.52]And some time of this day [02:54.63]Now returning back again [02:58.23]We bring a garland gay [03:02.77] [03:50.36]And so they linked their hands and danced [03:54.26]Round in circles and in rows [03:58.41]And so the journey of the night descends [04:02.19]When all the shades are gone [04:05.30] [04:06.50]"A garland gay we bring you here [04:10.21]And at your door we stand [04:14.17]It is a sprout well budded out [04:18.28]The work of our Lord's hand" [04:21.21] [04:22.29]We've been rambling all the night [04:26.09]And some time of this day [04:29.97]Now returning back again [04:33.65]We bring a garland gay [04:37.50] [04:38.20]We've been rambling all the night [04:41.98]And some time of this day [04:45.96]Now returning back again [04:49.78]We bring a garland gay [04:57.68]
