Queen of Summer

Recorded on Murderous Ditties and Ballads most Cruel by Dairine and Yonaton

They first kissed in a meadow
out picking berries to make summer wine
then they played in the clover
they knew in that moment
that they'd be love for all time

He swore by the moon and starlight
and the flowers in her hair
he'd make her his queen of the summer
for no one was ever so fair

Fortune smiled down o're him
his lady believes and he can't her down
through each battle he prayed this
and by the red light of the sun
found he won her the crown

Gladly he'd fight a lion
or enter a dragons lair
all for his queen of the summer
for no one was ever so fair

Summer fades to autumn
But they'll dance and they'll sing and they'll drink summer wine
and when this dance is over
They'll know in their hearts
this summer was theirs for all time

Though when winter snows have fallen
and frost has streaked her hair
she'll still be his queen of summer
for no one was ever so fair

She'll still be his queen of summer
for no one was ever so fair.
