Christy Moore - Easter Snow lyrics

Oh the Easter snow it has faded away
It was so rare and beautiful
And it melted back into the clay

Those days will be remembered
Beyond out in the Naul
Listening to the master's notes
As gently they did fall

Oh the music when Seamus he did play
But the thaw came on the mantle white
And turned it back into the clay
He gazed at the embers in reflection
Called up lost verses again
Smiled in roguish recollection
While his fingers gripped the glass
To stem the pain

When knocked upon his door would open
With a welcome he'd bid the time of day
Though you came when the
Last flakes had melted
While it lay upon the ground you stayed away
