A Faery Song (We Who Are Old)
Mike Scott, William Butler Yeats
We who are old, old and gay
Oh so old
Thousands of years, thousands of years
if all were told
Give to these children, new from the world
Silence and love
And the long dew-dropping hours of the night
and the stars above
We who are old, old and gay
Oh so old
Thousands of years, thousands of years
if all were told
Give to these children, new from the world
rest far from men
Is anything better in this world?
Tell us it then
We who are old, old and gay
Oh so old
Thousands of years, thousands of years
if all were told
We who are old, old and gay
Oh so old
Thousands of years, thousands of years
if all were told
