lyrics

Oh the Last King of Feothanach was wandering by my window
Head bent forward all along the windy quay
All my troubles evaporated when I heard the music
A moment of music with the sisters of the sea
And he, he was singing all alone in the whistling breeze

There's a hole in the heavens that the clouds made when they parted
A patch of the ocean only he can plainly see
When he closes his eyes he can hear his own true lover
A moment of music then she's gone so suddenly
And he, he is singing all alone in the whistling breeze

Try to catch the feeling the momentum of the moment
A moment of music oh say who could it be
He would ordinarily have liked to hear the blackbird
But the song of the raven won him over eventually
And he, he was singing all alone in the whistling breeze

There'll be flowers on the water when the last king leaves forever
In a moment of music we'll be waving from the quay
While the blackbird and the raven watch together
The last king of Feothanach will sail away to sea
And he, he'll be singing all alone in the whistling breeze
