Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Chorus:
Oh the Easter snow
It has fade away
It was so rare and so beautiful
Now it’s melted back into the clay
Those days will be remembered
Beyond out in the Naul
Listening to the master’s notes
As gently they did fall
Oh . . . the music
As Seamus he did play
But the thaw crept over the mantle whit
And turned it back to clay
Chorus:
Oh the Easter snow
It has fade away
It was so rare and so beautiful
Now it’s melted back into the clay
He gazed at the embers in reflection,
He called up lost verses again,
He smiled with a roguish recollection,
While his fingers gripped the glass to stem the pain
When knocked on his door was always open
With a welcome he’d bid the time of day
Though we came when the last flakes were melted
While it lay upon the ground we stayed away
Chorus:
Oh the Easter snow
It has fade away
It was so rare and so beautiful
Now it’s melted back into the clay
