The Storm-Won Ring

[Intro]
[Verse]
The wild Atlantic tore
We brought the boats to shore
Salt crusts the heavy wool
The harvest nets are full
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise up the yellow light
We dance into the night
The ocean spared our bones
Upon these granite stones
[Chorus]
Cider sweet and gold
Warm hands against the cold
Stories proudly told
Safe within the fold
[Hook]
Dil-lo-la, the fiddle plays
Dil-lo-la, through the haze
Stamp your feet upon the clay
Spin the weary night away
[Verse]
The elders start to sing
Old songs of sea and king
Bare feet upon the pine
We trace the ancient line
[Chorus]
Cider sweet and gold
Warm hands against the cold
Stories proudly told
Safe within the fold
[Build-up]
Hear the drum beat fast
The storm is gone at last
Lift the cup, turn around
Spin across the dusty ground
[Bridge]
The sea is dark and deep
It took our friends to sleep
But tonight she let us go
To feel the fire glow
[Hook]
Tra-la-la, the bombarde blows
Tra-la-la, the cider flows
Hand in hand we join the ring
Hear the joyful village sing
[Chorus]
Cider sweet and gold
Warm hands against the cold
Stories proudly told
Safe within the fold
[Outro]
