Saint Winifred Lyrics

I left town and wandered round

Down past the pearly gate

I took a spell behind a well

And when I did awake

Would you believe it

The sky turned green

And a crown upon my head

There she was

No beauty lost

The lady Winifred

Holly red hair

With an emerald stare

She gazed into her well

Lost in the depths

We watched her death

How the images did swell

Hard to believe that heaven's door

Is waiting on the other side

Oh how could it be

On an endless island

Beyond the sky

I took a walk and lost my dog

And soon was lost the same

Oh there he roams

By the old tombstones

The walls of Winnie's grave

Out on the island

Watching the lights

Perhaps she's dreaming on

A portal through

The sky of blue

A traveling light at dawn
