In the town, the people stay away the midnight well For it's dark and evil, so they say The midnight well
They'll tell you a tale of a lovely young maid The fairest that they'd ever known What a beauty, they say she went her own way On that night, she set out on her own
For they say, she had a rendezvous At the midnight well With a gypsy man barely knew At the midnight well
Nobody knew where he came from But they remember the fire in his His earring of gold And his hair black as coal And a look that could just hypnotize
When he said Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light away, come away Come and ride with me into the night
Never more, they never saw her face At the midnight well She was gone, and never left a trace the midnight well
They say when the summer nights come to an end The moon glows in the sky A black horse will appear and a sound you will hear As the ghost of a gypsy flies by
And he says Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into night
Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me the night
Come away, away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night
