Midsummer Night's Happening (feat. Mike Oldfield & Sally Oldfield)

Midsummer Night's Happening - The Sallyangie

Sunlight falling bright over

The village garden walls

Moonlight showers gold

Where living water falls

People walk in splendour

Under trees hung in starlight

Orange groves are bursting

Out into green leaves moonlight

Candlelight lawns sweep down to the river

That ripples on pebbles of turquoise

Fountains of golden light burst in quavers

That float among the stars

The tables are laid with fruits of the wine

And cedar from samarkand

The golden gates are open wide

For the people all over the land

A thousand dancing chandeliers

Shine in my lady's chamber

My lord comes swaying through the hall

With a goblet of shining amber

Then nectar and brandy wine and mead

Come flowing from shimmering springs

They all menuet to a string quartet

And the marquis's daughter shall sing

Gentle maidens walking in the garden

While they'r courted by the knights

From the palace of love

They are all dressed in white

With flowers of palest colour

They are all singing songs

To the yellow moon above

Would you like brandy wine

Shall we go now and dine

We'll do the merry minuet

Till the yellow moon has set

We shall dance

Through the midsummer night

Come my pretty oberon trip trip trip

Come and sing a summer song trip trip

I know a bank where cowslips trip

Whereon the wild thyme sits trip trip

Dance in the midsummer night

Would you like brandy wine

Shall we go now and dine

We'll do the merry minuet

Till the yellow moon has set

We shall dance

Through the midsummer night

Come my pretty oberon trip trip trip

Come and sing a summer song trip trip

I know a bank where cowslips trip

Whereon the wild thyme sits trip trip

Dance through the midsummer night

Gentle maidens

Walking in the garden

While they'r courted by the knights

From the palace of love

They are all dressed in white

With flowers of palest colour

They are all singing songs

To the yellow moon above

Would you like brandy wine

Shall we go now and dine

We'll do the merry minuet

Till the yellow moon has set

We shall dance

Through the midsummer night
