Lyrics

[Verse]
In the hollow glade where shadows fall
Dwelt pale Queen Bridie
Mistress of all
Her robes like frost
Her eyes like stone
A kingdom of whispers
She ruled alone

[Verse 2]
Tom the jester
A curious sprite
With riddles and songs
He lit the night
Yet his heart strayed where few could see
To lads of Marist
Wild and free

[Chorus]
Oh Bridie
Oh Bridie
Your court so queer
With secrets spun
The truth draws near
Tom’s laugh may ring
But hearts do roam
Under pale moonlight
Far from home

[Verse 3]
Tom danced with boys in the market square
With a grin so wide
He’d never despair
Bridie watched from her frost-clad throne
Her jester’s heart was not her own

[Bridge]
Under the yew
Where the cold winds sigh
Tom whispered truths to the starry sky
His love
A flame
Unhidden
Bold
In Bridie’s court
Where secrets unfold

[Verse 4]
The queen
She smiled
A knowing gaze
For she too wandered through shadowed ways
In her court of ice
No scorn was cast
For every heart beats its own
Steadfast
