<pre><font size='+2'>STANDING STONES lyrics LOREENA MCKENNITT</font><br>Music by Loreena McKennitt<br />
 Lyrics Traditional, arr. Loreena McKennitt<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 In one of these lonely Orkney Isles<br />
 There dwelled a maiden fair.<br />
 Her cheeks were red, her eyes were blue<br />
 She had yellow curling hair.<br />
 <br />
 Which caught the eye and then the heart<br />
 Of one who could never be<br />
 A lover of so true a maid<br />
 Or fair a form as she.<br />
 <br />
 Across the lake in Sandwick<br />
 Dwelled a youth she held most true,<br />
 And ever since her infancy<br />
 He had watched those eyes so blue.<br />
 <br />
 The land runs out into the sea 1<br />
 It`s a narrow neck of land 1<br />
 Where weird and grim the Standing Stones<br />
 In a circle where they stand.<br />
 <br />
 One bonny moonlight Christmas Eve<br />
 They met at that sad place.<br />
 With her heart in glee and the beams of love<br />
 Were shining on her face.<br />
 When her lover came and he grasped her hand<br />
 And what loving words they said.<br />
 They talked of future`s happy days,<br />
 As through the stones they straid.<br />
 <br />
 They walked toward the lover`s stone<br />
 And through it passed their hands.<br />
 They plighted there a constant troth<br />
 Sealed by love`s steadfast bands.<br />
 He kissed his maid and then he watched her<br />
 That lonely bridge go o`er.<br />
 For little, little did he think<br />
 He wouldn`t see his darling more.<br />
 <br />
 Chorus:<br />
 Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles<br />
 Gazing out to sea<br />
 Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles<br />
 Bring my love to me.<br />
 <br />
 He turned his face toward his home<br />
 That home he did never see.<br />
 And you shall have the story<br />
 As it was told to me.<br />
 When a form upon him sprang<br />
 With a dagger gleaming bright.<br />
 It pierced his heart and his dying screams<br />
 Disturbed the silent night.<br />
 <br />
 This maid had nearly reached her home<br />
 When she was startled by a cry.<br />
 And she turned to look around her<br />
 And her love was standing by,<br />
 His hand was pointing to the stars<br />
 And his eyes glazed at the light,<br />
 And with a smiling countenance<br />
 He vanished from her sight.<br />
 <br />
 She quickly turned and home she ran<br />
 Not a word of this was said,<br />
 For well she knew at seeing his form<br />
 That her faithful love was dead.<br />
 And from that day she pined away,<br />
 Not a smile seen on her face.<br />
 And with outstreched arms she went to meet him<br />
 In a brighter place.<br />
 <br />

Music by Loreena McKennitt
Lyrics Traditional, arr. Loreena McKennitt

In one of these lonely Orkney Isles
There dwelled a maiden fair.
Her cheeks were red, her eyes were blue
She had yellow curling hair.

Which caught the eye and then the heart
Of one who could never be
A lover of so true a maid
Or fair a form as she.

Across the lake in Sandwick
Dwelled a youth she held most true,
And ever since her infancy
He had watched those eyes so blue.

The land runs out into the sea 1
It`s a narrow neck of land 1
Where weird and grim the Standing Stones
In a circle where they stand.

One bonny moonlight Christmas Eve
They met at that sad place.
With her heart in glee and the beams of love
Were shining on her face.
When her lover came and he grasped her hand
And what loving words they said.
They talked of future`s happy days,
As through the stones they straid.

They walked toward the lover`s stone
And through it passed their hands.
They plighted there a constant troth
Sealed by love`s steadfast bands.
He kissed his maid and then he watched her
That lonely bridge go o`er.
For little, little did he think
He wouldn`t see his darling more.

Chorus:
Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles
Gazing out to sea
Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles
Bring my love to me.

He turned his face toward his home
That home he did never see.
And you shall have the story
As it was told to me.
When a form upon him sprang
With a dagger gleaming bright.
It pierced his heart and his dying screams
Disturbed the silent night.

This maid had nearly reached her home
When she was startled by a cry.
And she turned to look around her
And her love was standing by,
His hand was pointing to the stars
And his eyes glazed at the light,
And with a smiling countenance
He vanished from her sight.

She quickly turned and home she ran
Not a word of this was said,
For well she knew at seeing his form
That her faithful love was dead.
And from that day she pined away,
Not a smile seen on her face.
And with outstreched arms she went to meet him
In a brighter place.
