Lyrics -
Midnight Sun
(G. Gothard, W. Gothard)
Golden meadow, Summer’s light
Northern land of elusive night
Here we spend our endless hours
Singing among the sweet wildflowers
Winds that whisper, evening song
Stories of the mountains strong
Here we spend our endless hours
Singing among the sweet wildflowers
CHORUS
And I look up to the sky above
And I can name every star I see
And I hold close to the ones I love
And I will dance to the midnight sun
Far from troubles, Winter’s grieving
In this place we’ll chance believing
Here we spend our endless hours
Singing among the sweet wildflowers
CHORUS
CHORUS
Nightfall
(G. Gothard, W. Gothard, S. Gothard)
She arrives as night is falling / Along the lantern way
Can you hear the starlings crying? / At the dying of the day
Her eyes are full of moonlight / I can see them from afar
She walks the way at twilight / And her coat is full of stars
CHORUS
Nightfall
And her coat is full of stars
Nightfall
And my dreams are full of stars
I will sleep with night surrounding / The moon is shining bright
In my dreams it’s all aligning / In the quiet of the night
Her eyes are full of moonlight / I can see them from afar
She walks the way at twilight / And her coat is full of stars
CHORUS
She will leave when the sun is rising / Along the morning way
Can you see the sparrows soaring? / At the dawning of the day
Her eyes are full of moonlight / I can see them from afar
She walks the way at twilight / and her coat is full of stars
CHORUS
Queen of Argyll
(Andy M. Stewart, arr. Gothard Sisters)
Gentle men it is my duty / to inform you of one beauty
Though I'd ask of you a favor not to seek her for a while
Though I own she is a creature / of character and feature
No words can paint the picture of the queen of all Argyll
CHORUS
Oh if you could have seen her there
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movements and the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
Would bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the queen of all Argyll
On that evening that I mentioned / I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country known for beauty and for style
In the place of noble thinkers / of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendor shone the queen of all Argyll
So my lads I needs must leave you / My intention's not to grieve you
Nor indeed would I decieve you / Oh I'll see you in a while
I must find some way to gain her / To court her and to claim her
I fear my heart's in danger from the queen of all Argyll
CHORUS
CHORUS
