The man he walks alone and cold
For all the nights and all the days
He calls her name out to the winds
His only love Orlaigh
He walks his path for all his years
Along his road he meets with snow
His feet grow blue and sore , they bleed with his heart
For all the nights and all the days
His only love Orlaigh
He meets with beast within the woods and gives up not
Upon his hands the scars of fight bleed endlessly
For all the days and all the nights
His only love Orlaigh
He gives up not even as his body frails with despair
As time diseases upon his bones
His heart calls out, his only love Orlaigh
He lays by the river to quench his needing mouth
He hears a call from waving the waters
For all the nights and all the days
Come with me, his only love Orlaigh
Her arms are the waters which surround him now
He lets out as a sigh as he drifts into her breath
For all the days and all the nights
With her now, his only love Orlaigh
