The mounds and dale of lustrous light
That lie near Thanets Shore
The hidden grotto by the moons cave
Where the Isles secrets lie in state
Where the straights of Dover flow
There lived a prince of elven blood
One day to rule Thanets Shore
His kingdom stretched both far and wide,
And magic flowed through his fingertips
His hair was long and never shorn,
I am shackled to your hearts desire
Across long space and time
He was pulled away on a secret wind
Sailing over an angry sea
The horns did sound his ship sailed west,
I may never hear his voice again.
Or the feel of his arms enfolding me,
He's the only one I adore,
my life will be spent while waiting for him
By the banks of Thanet’s Shore.
Farewell to the Isle’s castle grand.
Farewell to the foggy dew.
Where the sacred fires burn through the night
Dent de Lyons towers fall in ruins
Near there I dreamt my youthful days
But alas they are all gone
For cruelty has banished him
Far away from the Thanet Shore.
