Was it just last night or long ago
That Rory Dall was here?
Does anyone remember
The evening or the year?

He came in from the darkness
With the shadows in his eyes
And the night was full of yearning
And the wind was full of sighs

We asked him where he came from
And how far he had to go
He answered without speaking
That we surely had to know

He placed his harp before him
In his laughter and his pain
And strings were weeping for the world
Before he left again

Does anyone remember
The evening or the year?
Was it just last night or long ago
That Rory Dall was here?
