She moved through the fair (vocal/piano cover by Christy-Lyn Marais) with lyrics

This song was recorded for a collaboration with Sherly Chan in Malaysia, playing the irish flute :)

Lyrics:

My young love said to me "My mother won't mind
And my father won't spite you for your lack of kind"
And she stepped away from me and this she did say:
"It will not be long now, 'til our wedding day".

She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
And then she went homewards with one star awake
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

Last night she came to me, she came softly in
So softly she came that her feet made no din
And she put her hand on me and this she did say
"It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day".

It finally hit me. You are the spitting image of a younger Sigourney Weaver. I couldn't place it before, but there it is!

That, by the way, is a massive compliment! Sigourney is one of the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes on, and you have the voice to match.

Thank you CL for yet another delightful piece with your enchanting voice. There's something sober and intimate about your videos that gets me each time. Beautiful.
