Symbolic by singer harpist Claire Roche

recorded at Tara Hill church, C0. Meath, Ireland at the summer solstice concert of 2003

In the midst of that deep night
I was awoken by the screeching fox.
And the night was so fragrant, and silent,
Said I couldn't bear
to let it pass, in slumber.

So I walked by the fields,
And through the misty night
My way was made clear .
Through the dark depths of the wood,
Where the shadows mingle
in a thousand ways,
And the light of the moon
Was sheltering me from the dark night .

I see him standing, waiting there for me
And his frame is so cold and far away.
I wish he'd take me, tender, by my hand,
And through the misty night,
we'd walk together.
Horses raise their heads in question,
But there is no pain here,
Here .

And as I stare upon his perfect face,
And see the fathoms deep within his eyes;
The sadness, the human loneliness,
He says with a sigh
"Things are not right"
And he goes from me.

And the dawn is slowly
chasing away the moon,
And it stares at the rising sun for a while,
And like my lover,
Fades with the dawning,
Fades ,with the dawning,
Fades with the dawn.
