From the midnight well
For it's dark and evil, so they say
The midnight well
They'll tell you a tale of a lovely young maid
The fairest that they'd ever known
What a beauty, they say
But she went her own way
On that night, she set out on her own
For they say, she had a rendezvous
At the midnight well
With a gypsy man she barely knew
At the midnight well
Nobody knew where he came from
But they remember the fire in his eyes
His earring of gold
And his hair black as coal
And a look that could just hypnotize
When he said
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
Never more, they never saw her face
At the midnight well
She was gone, and never left a trace
At the midnight well
They say when the summer nights come to an end
The harvest moon glows in the sky
A black horse will appear and a sound you will hear
As the ghost of a gypsy flies by
And he says
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
In the town, the people stay away From the midnight well For it's dark and evil, so they say The midnight well They'll tell you a tale of a lovely young maid The fairest that they'd ever known What a beauty, they say But she went her own way On that night, she set out on her own For they say, she had a rendezvous At the midnight well With a gypsy man she barely knew At the midnight well Nobody knew where he came from But they remember the fire in his eyes His earring of gold And his hair black as coal And a look that could just hypnotize When he said Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night Never more, they never saw her face At the midnight well She was gone, and never left a trace At the midnight well They say when the summer nights come to an end The harvest moon glows in the sky A black horse will appear and a sound you will hear As the ghost of a gypsy flies by And he says Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night Explain Request ×
