Cold the night and cold the path
That once was green and bright,
Cold the ground you walked upon
With footfall gay and light.
Birds are trembling in the hedge
The otter crouches low
A hawk hunts in the darkened sky
A hare screams out below.
Cold the night and cold the path
That once was green and bright,
Cold the ground you walked upon
With footfall gay and light.
Last night I dreamed that you returned,
I held my breath to view
You walk upon the verdant path
My heavy heart renewed.
But cold the night and cold my love
That once was fair and bright,
Cold the ground you're buried in
Your footfall's gone from sight.
That once was green and bright,
Cold the ground you walked upon
With footfall gay and light.
Birds are trembling in the hedge
The otter crouches low
A hawk hunts in the darkened sky
A hare screams out below.
Cold the night and cold the path
That once was green and bright,
Cold the ground you walked upon
With footfall gay and light.
Last night I dreamed that you returned,
I held my breath to view
You walk upon the verdant path
My heavy heart renewed.
But cold the night and cold my love
That once was fair and bright,
Cold the ground you're buried in
Your footfall's gone from sight.
Liam Heneghan 2015 (lyric for an Irish Tune)
