Van morrison she moved through the fair lyrics

My young love said to me,

My mother won't mind

And my father won't slight you

For your lack of kind.

She stepped away from me

And this she did say,

"It will not be long love

Till our wedding day". 



She stepped away from me

And she moved through the fair

And fondly I watched her move here

And move there.

And she went her way homeward

With one star awake,

As the swan in the evening

Moved over the lake. 



Last night she came to me,

She came softly in.

So softly she came,

That her feet made no din.

And she laid her hand on me

And this she did say,

"It will not be long love

Till our wedding day".
