Ice Man

The sun shone brightly on the valley green
She danced and played in the young spring leaves
and the lark he sang a merry tune for all down in the valley
Shepherd kissed his love goodbye
and made his way to the mountain side
with his herd of goats he’d make the climb to the high and lushly meadows
O fear not my love for I hear you calling
The stars fell to greet him soon he would be home
O sleep not my love for I hear you calling
The stars fell to greet him soon he would be home
It was high above the world he climb
and his thoughts did wander far and wide
to his new wed love and their baby child waiting in the valley
The trail was long but he knew it well, he walked it time and time again
In a month or two he’d be home again to his love down in the valley
O fear not my love for I hear you calling
The stars fell to greet him soon he would be home
O sleep not my love for I hear you calling
The stars fell to greet him soon he would be home
He was high upon the mountain side
when the snow did fall from a clear blue sky
The wind she howled a banshee cry the shepherd he was weary
Beside a stone he did lay softly dreams they came to stay
and the lark he sang and the sun she played
For all down in the valley
O fear not my love for I hear you calling
The stars fell to greet him soon he would be home
O sleep not my love for I hear you calling
The stars fell to greet him soon he would be home
O fear not my love for I hear you calling
The stars fell to greet him soon he would be home
O sleep not my love for I hear you calling
The stars fell to greet him soon he would be home
