Silly Wizard: Bridget O'Malley

Bridget O'Malley from the album "So Many Partings" by Silly Wizard.

Lyrics:

Oh Bridgit O'Malley, you left my heart shaken
With a hopeless desolation, I'd have you to know
It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken
And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go.

The white moon above the pale sands, the pale stars above the thorn tree
Are cold beside my darling, but no purer than she
I gaze upon the cold moon till the stars drown in the warm sea
And the bright eyes of my darling are never on me.

My Sunday it is weary, my Sunday it is grey now
My heart is a cold thing, my heart is a stone
All joy is dead within me, my life has gone away now
For another has taken my love for his own.

The day it is approaching when we were to be married
And it's rather I would die than live only to grieve
Oh meet me, my Darling, e'er the sun sets o'er the barley
And I'll meet you there on the road to Drumslieve.

Oh Bridgit O'Malley, you've left my heart shaken
With a hopeless desolation, I'd have you to know
It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken
And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go.

who did the paintings?

[DantesDarkside]

@AndrewFairservice

I dont know, I found them on Google

[Poodlepups]

@DantesDarkside The pre-Rafaelites (1890's England) did a lot of the girls with red hair. This artist's name escapes me. Love the picture of the castle at the beginning!

@Poodlepups thanks for the information :) seemes that the girl is painted by John Everett Millais

This song is dark... poignant... and hauntingly beautiful, and sung no better than by Andy M. Stuart.... and if it doesn't move you... check your pulse...

[Diarmid63]

Just the instrumental introduction of this song is gorgeous and evokes powerful emotions and then the words cause you to feel the heart break. It always brings me to tears. And I have no doubts it always will.

@DantesDarkside The painting that pops up at 3:11 is John William Waterhouse's 1888 version of The Lady Of Shalott. Waterhouse wasn't actually a Pre-Raphealite but was called the last Pre-Raphaelite.
