FAL MORGAN

Words: Pat Silver & Gordon Dickson
Music: Pat Silver


Fal Morgan, Fal Morgan, when morning dawns grey,
Your wall stones and rooftrees stand near me today.
Your fire burning brightly, the wind in the eaves
And the birds on the ridge tile are singing to me.

They sing of my homeland, the mountains and seas,
Of the smoke from the chimneys in the soft summer breeze,
The gales in the autumn, the cold winter's snow.
They sing of Fal Morgan, the home that I know.

But now I'm on a strange world, 'neath strange sun and skies,
And I'm fighting in a strange war and I fear I may die.
For soon will the sun rise and battle begin,
And I fear I will never see Fal Morgan again.
