Coolavin Lyrics

Coolavin was an Irish leprechaun
Waitin' on the side of the hill
Waitin' for Queen Mab to take her home again
Back inside of the Hill
Long, long ago the Elves were everywhere
Taking care of the Earth
Till the humans came, they had to go underground
Back to the place of their birth

Chorus:
And she hears her name in the wind
And she hears it keen and cry
And she knows the magic will return
When the full moon's in the sky...
And the wind cries...
...Coolavin, Coolavin, Coolavin, Coolavin...

The Dagda said to take the magic
Hide it where it couldn't be found
Keep it safe from humankind
In the sacred faerie mound
We need an elf to watch the gates
To let no humans in
Till its safe for them to share with us
The Magic that's within...

Chorus
And she hears her name in the wind
And she hears it keen and cry
And she knows the magic will return
When the full moon's in the sky...
And the wind cries...
...Coolavin, Coolavin, Coolavin, Coolavin...
None of the elves wanted to be left behind
None of them stepped up to say
So the Dagda had to choose the finest warrior
To stay behind that day

Now Coolavin sits alone in the forest
Waiting on the side of the hill
Waiting for Queen Mab to take her Home again
Knowing some day she will...
Waiting for the magic to return...
Knowing some day it will...

And the wind cries...
...Coolavin, Coolavin, Coolavin, Coolavin...
