Stay my love, don't you go out tonight
Stay my love, for the fair ones ride tonight
Oh, the moon is ripe and shining full

At the witching hour their bells will toll
Tonight


Stay my love, for She of the Sylvan lands
Captures hearts with a touch of her hand
The red rose twines up from the hells

Her scent beguiles and you lose yourself
Her tresses shine with an infernal light
She'll ensnare your soul

And you will not be mine

Shake your silver branches

Set the bells to sing
Revel in the dances
Of the new-made Faery King


Where do you go, my fairest love
Where do you go, with the witching moon above

I'm going out beyond the silver trees,
For you've stirred my soul with mystery
The branches twist like a beckoning

The scent of apples lures me in

He's gone out in the deep of the night

He's gone out, to glimpse the Faery light
At the edge of the wood where the air is thin
They've set their eerie bells to ring

They'll feed him on the Faery wine
She will speak his name
and he will not be mine


Shake your silver branches
Set the bells to sing

Revel in the dances
Of the new-made Faery King


I'm going out where the branches turn to grey
I'm going out where the beauty does not fade
For once I had a lover true

His heart was lost at the sight of you
I'll seek him where the night sun shines
And we'll spend forever drunk on Faery wine


Shake your silver branches
Set the bells to sing

Revel in the dances
Of the new-made Faery King
