lyrics

Black Bull of Norroway

Full of fear, full of woe
Moving on, through shadow and snow
Oh listen my heartbeat, echoes and falls
Moving on, through shadow and snow

I said bring me a prince who will dance in white linen robes
Fresh faced and brave he’s holding his courage aloft
His strong armour will fall fall down
Oh where is my prince all I see is shadow and snow

For hours I watched unrested and alone
Not a word, not a shuffle, my body still as stone
Ah the sky is a tapestry
Ah turning red to white to blue
In the thrill of a battle won, I moved my body and you
Were lost to me, in the shadow and snow

Refrain:

(Ya da da da ya da da ya da da ya da da,
Ya da da da ya da da ya da da dum) – x 2
(Ya dee da dee ya da da ya da da
Ya dee da dee ya da da dum) X 2

Oh here in my world made of glass no foothold to find
A mountain of ice stands between us, for pity I cried
Oh bring me some shoes made of steel oh lord let me climb
Seven long years I gave up to leave this world behind
And that glass valley did fall fall down
And here I stand in the shadow and snow

Only then did I see, my one and own true love
Held enchanted and bound, by the witch from whom I run
Ah with the last of my strength I will break him free
Ah too far have I come to lose you know
With a glorious battle cry I moved my body and you
Came back to me from the shadow and snow

Refrain

(Ya da da da ya da da ya da da ya da da,
Ya da da da ya da da ya da da dum) – x 2
(Ya dee da dee ya da da ya da da
Ya dee da dee ya da da dum) X 4
