EPONA

By the sea strand in the silver of moon

Come to the water and dance with me

If you catch the breeze right they say there's a tune

Cakes of oats and barley

and they say a girl rides there with skin white and fair

come to the water and dance with me

and brown chestnut eyes like the mane of a mare

cakes of oats and barley

So down to the water I walked in the night

Come to the water and dance with me

with offerings of apple and tunes on the pipe

Cakes of oats and barley

And the full moon rose over and the stars they shone long

Come to the water and dance with me

And the world was all tide and the tune of my song

Cakes of oats and barley

So what's the dream now that I dreamed on the strand

Come to the water and dance with me

But fair leg and mare's flank and the touch of her hand

Cakes of oats and barley

And she sang with my pipe in the voice of the lark

Come to the water and dance with me

Held me under her cloak in the tide swirling dark

Cakes of oats and barley

She said play your pipes slowly and dance where you may

And I'll be your love till the dawn of the day

Hold me with arms and the brown glow of eyes

I've mysteries deep in the hips and the thighs

Oh, play your pipes slowly and dance me a tune

where the mare's hooves in sand leave the crescent of moon

Wherever you dance your longing will stay

and I'll be your love till the end of your days

By the sea strand in the silver of moon

Come to the water and dance with me

There's a mark there like a mare's shodden hooves

Cakes of oats and barley

And though I grow old with the grey of the sea

Come to the water and dance with me

That mark still remains and on me's still the dream

Cakes of oats and barley

So let others take pleasure in the pubs and the town

Come to the water and dance with me

Cast them a charm when the moon's full and round

Cakes of oats and barley

But always the lark's voice will whisper my name

Come to the water and dance with me

And always I'll go and deliver the same

Cakes of oats and barley
