✍️ Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Down by the loch where the waters run deep,
There’s a tale that the old folks say,
Of a horse so fair with a mane of the night,
That’ll lead you far away.
With eyes like stars and a coat of black,
It whispers in the wind,
“Come closer now, and ride with me,
Let the wild adventure begin.”
[Chorus]
Oh, the Kelpie calls, from the water’s edge,
With a promise sweet and sly.
It’ll lure you in with its haunting grace,
And drown you 'neath the sky.
Beware the dance, beware the tide,
Of the creature’s deadly play,
For once you’re on the Kelpie’s back,
You’ll never see the day.
[Verse 2]
In the moonlit night by the heathered moors,
It waits with bated breath,
A trickster’s grin on its ghostly face,
As it lures you to your death.
You’ll hear the splash, feel the cold, cold grasp,
As the waters pull you down,
And the Kelpie’s laugh, like a distant chime,
Will echo all around.
[Chorus]
Oh, the Kelpie calls, from the water’s edge,
With a promise sweet and sly.
It’ll lure you in with its haunting grace,
And drown you 'neath the sky.
Beware the dance, beware the tide,
Of the creature’s deadly play,
For once you’re on the Kelpie’s back,
You’ll never see the day.
[Bridge]
(Fiddle Solo)
[Verse 3]
In the depths of the loch, where the secrets lie,
The Kelpie waits alone,
With tales of old and whispered lies,
It carves its heart of stone.
But still, it sings in the dead of night,
A song of lure and woe,
For those who dare to dance its dance,
Will never let it go.
[Chorus]
Oh, the Kelpie calls, from the water’s edge,
With a promise sweet and sly.
It’ll lure you in with its haunting grace,
And drown you 'neath the sky.
Beware the dance, beware the tide,
Of the creature’s deadly play,
For once you’re on the Kelpie’s back,
You’ll never see the day.
[Outro]
So heed this song as you wander by,
The lochs of ancient lore,
For the Kelpie waits in the shadowed waves,
To claim your soul once more.
And as you hear its mournful tune,
Echo through the glen,
Remember well the Kelpie’s dance,
And never trust again.
