Lovers Leap - John Spillane
About a mile from mallow town
There is a place called lover's leap
A beauty spot of great renown
A jagged rock that rises steep
A lonely cliff above the deep
Blackwater
The gentry planted all these trees
The oak the beech and the lonely pine
And courting couples often please
To wander there and take their time
And breathe the beauty by the shining
River
About a hundred years ago
Or so the local people tell
Under a weight of great sorrow
A handsome courting couple fell
To their doom inside the great
Blackwater
Lover's leap
Together in blissful peace
Forever in endless peace
A catholic and protestant
Had fallen for each other's charms
Their families would not consent
They fled and sought each other's arms
They sought each other's arms and fled
And dived into their marriage bed
Inside the cold
Blackwater
They reached the rocky height that night
One last kiss one last embrace
They cried and held each other tight
Then stepping into endless space
They wandered out into the air
And left this earth for ever more
And reached the sad
Blackwater
Their bodied wrapped in endless night
Their souls sailed on into the bright
Encircling stars and the caring moon
The sun shone down upon their love
From heaven's branches high above the great
Blackwater
Lover's leap
Together in blissful peace
Forever in endless peace
The priest he offered up the host
The river offered up the moon
And Jesus wept to see his name
Divided in a crazy game
And Mary sent an angel down
Who wandered on through mallow town
And reached the sad
Blackwater
Lover's leap
Together in blissful peace
Forever in endless peace
Lover's leap
Together in blissful peace
Forever in endless peace
About a mile from mallow town
There is a place called lover's leap
A beauty spot of great renown
A jagged rock that rises steep
A lonely cliff above the deep
Blackwater
