“The Bow’s Turned Back,” by Heather Alexander. I wish I knew where it was sung.
Incidentally, this is a cheerful sea song. Those are rare. Treasure it.

Tomorrow I Leave for Battle – Heather Alexander
Love me one more time,
Make this night last forever,
For on the morrow, I leave for battle–

Shattered Glass – Heather Alexander
Earth for dame, sun for sire,
Rise from candle to a fire-
With sky of blue and green of grass,
A land of dreams from shattered glass-

Dance in the Circle – Heather Alexander
But please come, join, dance in the circle,
The voices will make your heart yearn–
To please come, join, dance in the circle,
But know that you’ll never return–

Faerie Queen – Heather Alexander
Heather Alexander’s “Fairy Queen”
I’ve never had actual confirmation that this is based on “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” but…it seems kind of obvious. Anyway, every good supernatural ballad deserves a Celtic version and an American version.*sneaks in*
*leaves link*
*scurries out*

The March of Cambreadth – Heather Alexander
(Am)Axes flash, (G)broadsword (Am)swing,
(Am)Shining (G)armour’s (F)piercing (Am)ring
Horses run with (G)polished (Am)shield,
Fight those bastards (G)till they (Am)yield
Midnight mare and (G)blood red roan,
(Am)Fight to (G)keep this (F)land your (Am)own
Sound the horn and (G)call the cry,
(Am)How many of (G)them can (F)we make (Am)die!

Shadow Lover – Heather Alexander
A friend of mine and I were talking about our odd tastes in romance songs, and I remembered this one, which is about Death, descirbing him as if he were a gentle lover.
….Kind of sad when you read the books that give context, actually.
