The Storyteller (Paddy’s Song)

[Verse 1]
I've heard all the stories you tell to your friends
The heart-rending stories of maidens and men
In the days gone before
And songs of the mist-covered mountains and vales
Of demons and fairies and mischievous tales

[Verse 2]
Come sing me a song with a haunting refrain
Of lovers forsaken and left all forlorn
In the saddest of tale
And lonely the piper will play just for me
And fill the night air with his sweet melody

[Verse 3]
Come sit down beside mе and stay for a while
And tell me thе secrets you hide with your smile
And the glint in your eye
Then take hold my hand as the band starts to play
We'll dance through the night 'til the stars fade away

[Whistle Solo]

[Verse 4]
Come pour me a glass of a ruby red wine
We'll draw near the hearth and the warmth of our fire
In a rosy, red glow
A chorus of fiddlers to join in so free
We'll drink to fond love and good company
