Whistles of the Misty Moor Lyrics

The air hangs thick

The evening fades

Whistles of the moor

In moon's embrace

Whispers far and whispers near

Bringing stories old

To wandering ear

Heath and bramble

Shadowed night

Phantom tunes in pale twilight

Echoes of the past do call

From crumbling stones and ancient hall

Whistles of the misty moor

Tunes that speak of days before

Hear the tales the breezes tell

Of love and loss

Of dream and spell

Lonely shepherd guards his sheep

Lost in memories

None too deep

Listens close to mournful sighs

Carried by the ghostly skies

Legends wrapped in foggy veil

Guard the hills

Through storm and gale

Cairns and dolmens

Silent keep

Secrets bound in moss grown sleep

Seeker of the truth

Beware

For the moor holds tender care

Mystic hymns

The winds do weave

Glimpses of what heart believes
