lyrics

Come away, come away, oh human child
To where the fairy fruit grows wild
Your soul's made of sea glass, and bog oak, and moss
This life will be your death
Your death would be my loss

Come away, come away, oh human boy
Through the green-blooded forest we'll run with joy
Let me blow the concrete dust from your heart
Our twin flames should never have been kept apart

Come away, come away, oh human child
Your eyes have left me so beguiled
We'll harvest the toadstools and howl at the moon
I'll bandage your wounds if you dance to my tune

Come away, come away, oh human boy
What comes between us I will destroy
Your home is all gone now but have no fear
My claim on your soul will last thousands of years

Come away from the city and under the hill
Not to return until I've had my fill
My beautiful boy, I cannot tell a lie
Your kin will forget you
Their tears will run dry
Come sit at my feet and what magick we'll weave
Come eat at my table so you can never leave
Let me steal the fire that burns in your eyes
Pack up your things and say your goodbyes

Come away, come away, oh human child
And follow me into sweet exile
The North Sea water runs in both our veins
You've nothing to lose but your mortal chains

Come away, come away, oh human boy
I'll be your queen, and you'll be my toy
You can't hide from my love or run from your fate
There's no use in crying now
It's far too late
