Lyrics

Sundance was captive some 200 years
And chained to the cross at old St. Muiredach Piers, til I
Cut off her fetters and dried all her tears
She promised she’d never forget me

Sundance was fair as a misty blue gale
Bright auburn hair - emerald green in her tail
And with much vim and vigor I polished her scales
And anything else she would let me

So good night Sundance
Go rest in the sea
I’m sorry my world’s not what it’s suppose to be
We only get one chance, don’t waste yours on me
Oh, good night Sundance
Tomorrow you’re free

Her voice was as sweet as the wind on the waves
We danced in the surf and we slept in the caves
But I knew in the end that I’d have to be brave
It was only my lot to defend her

So we lay ‘neath the stars till the morning was nigh
With the salt on her lips and the moon in her eye
Then I swore by the tide till the day that I die
That my poor heart would always remember

So good night Sundance
Go rest in the sea
I’m sorry my world’s not what it’s suppose to be
We only get one chance, don’t waste yours on me
Oh, good night Sundance
Tomorrow you’re free

There’s a lady I see in the wake of my dreams
There’s a song in the wind that Cliodhna still sings
Of heroes and mermaids and wonderful things
Like Sundance - the Celtic Sea’s daughter

On a warm red horizon, a sailor’s delight
Emerald scales catch the silver moonlight
With a wave and wink and a whispered good night
She disappears into the water

So good night Sundance
Go rest in the sea
I’m sorry my world’s not what it’s suppose to be
We only get one chance, don’t waste yours on me
Oh, good night Sundance
Tomorrow you’re free

Good night Sundance
Tomorrow you're free
