Great lyrics to a lovely tune.

Thank you! Have been searching for this

what a voice, lucky enough to see him many years ago, may it continue.

Brings back memories to my childhood

THE LAST SONG I sang in golden autumn fields the sun will rise today I dreamed of stars that shining down Were singing in another may I saw the white sail lowered down In harbours made of dreams The mountain king forgot his crown Where the snows white shepherd gleams It may not be long just a line or two If this should be the last song it will be for you I wept for every star that fell or silver wing laid down The songs unheard once known so well Drew memories, arise and grow Still buried deep within the soul Is all the tinners hand As much remained still yet to hear Is ever graced this singing land So if a wild persistent voice calls across the way Do not think a gift of choice Is ever ours to hold or save For sing we may and sing we must Above this world of clay For music never turns to dust Harmony can not decay

THE WHITE SHEPHERD Written by Mike O’Connor. Days are short the wind is chill frost is hard and streams are still The year is on the wane Winter thorn is bright with berries deer are grazing in the valley It will not be long before the White Shepherd comes again. Geese are flying white as winter frozen branches crack and splinter The fox is in his den Cattle in the byre are lowing icicles like knives are growing Nature has it’s way of knowing the White Shepherd comes again. Sheep are on the lower pasture flakes of white are falling faster Drifts have blocked the way The trembling lamb cries for it’s mother sounds and fields with snow are smothered Hard is life as she discovers the White Shepherd comes again. The rising sun is falsely bright grey as steel is morning light Sleet is in the rain The land is given another day fox seeks out some other prey Cruel and kind is natures way the White Shepherd comes again. Days are short the wind is chill frost is hard and streams are still The year is on the wane The lambs will be the first to know green shoots lie beneath the snow Life and seasons come and go the White Shepherd comes again.
