Three Black Feathers lyrics

The moon is ever, ever watching

She watches us o’er field and fen

For this is only one man’s story

Within a tale of many men

Sally at her bedroom window

Stands where she’s stood for three years past

“I fear my true love is lost in battle

I’m wondering how long love can last”

The church bell tolls to tell of midnight

With three bold knocks at Sally’s door

And quickly she has risen upright

Saying, “Who’s this calls at such late an hour?”

And there is stood her own true lover

Raven sharp eyes shining through

Saying, “Smile on me, love, and I’ll not deny thee

I have returned this night to you”

“What did I promise when I departed

I said that when the bullets flew

That I would rise just like the blackbird

Safe back to share my life with you”

He’s led her up to her bed chamber

And bending knelt down where she lay

“Oh, rest here in my arms forever

And lie here by my side till day"

So she sleeps, and dreams she sees him

By her window lit by the moon

Saying, “I must be gone ere the rise of the sun, love

I fear you’ve loved and you've lost to soon”

Sally startled has awoken

Raven sharp eyes shining through

But all that’s left are three black feathers

And the bright morn so crisp and new

The moon is ever, ever watching

She watches us o’er field and fen

For this is only one man’s story

Within a tale of many men
