Swift as the Falcon Flies

My love he travels to far western lands
Of mountains shaped by heaven's hands
My favor upon his belt he bears
Faithful he promises well he'll fare

And I cry come back to me love
Swift as the falcon flies

Beneath the silk banners that fly in the wind
He marches beside his king and his kin
Swiftly they travel like stag on the fly
Battle is coming their swords held high

And I cry come back to me love
Swift as the falcon flies

The clash of their armor, their swords ringing out
Their battle cry thundering fierce and loud
The foe in great numbers show prowess indeed
But my love and his army, they shall not yield

And I cry come back to me love
Swift as the falcon flies

Through the fray they have battled, strong willed they stand tall
For a mighty foe makes a mighty fall
They bury their brothers who have fallen in fight
And they raise their voices to them tonight

And I cry come back to me love
Swift as the falcon flies

Weary from battle and marching through night
Home to fields of Lilies so fair and white
My hands in his own, his eyes look to mine
Full of answered prayers and words so kind

Saying I swore I'd come back to you love
Swift as the falcon flies
And I've come home to you love
Swift as the falcon flies
