[The Chieftains, Sinéad O’Connor - He Moved Through the Fair lyrics]

My own love said to me
"My mother won't mind
And my daughters won't slight you
For your lack of kind"
He went away from me and this he did say:
"It will not be long, Love
Till our wedding day"

He went away from me and
He moved through the fair
And slowly I watched him move
Here and move there
He went his way homeward with one star awake
As this swan in the evening
Moves over the lake

I dreamed last night that my own love came in
He came in so sweetly his feet made no din
He came close beside me and this he did say:
"It will not be long Love
Till our wedding day"

It will not be long love
Long love, long love, love
