Fine Horseman

Sleeping in my bed
Strange thoughts, running through my head
I dreamed you were
Playing with my hair
Fine flying sparrow
And a fine, fine horseman

Rain falls and the wind roars
All the folks are indoors
We came through a ford
Riding over the moors
Fine flying sparrow
And a fine, fine horseman

Your dreams among my dreams
Are blue seas among sunbeams
Shades of yellow, shades of green
These are your dreams among my dreams
Fine flying sparrow
And a fine, fine horseman

Good morning to you, farming man
Here's to your heart, your family and land
I'll lay down a ring and a golden band
All on a field for a ride around
Fine flying sparrow
And a fine, fine horseman

Good morning, likewise, maiden and man
My family's dead, my heart is in the ground
I have no land
This is no time for a farming man
Fine flying sparrow
And a fine, fine horseman
