Lyrics

Walking homeward from the church one day
Singing in my head
I turned to look back at the cherry tree
The leaves so golden red
And I saw a young man standing there
On his way to Fleetwood Fair
He called me over and I looked around
Not a soul in sight
His skin was ghostly and his horse the same
The palest shade of white
And he asked me if I would come and share
The day with him at Fleetwood Fair
Oh, the west wind blows where the wildwood grows
Strips the branches bare
Oh, the west wind blows where the wildwood grows
The day I left for Fleetwood Fair
I asked him what I could expect to find
As we rode along
He told me there would be a travelling band
And people singing songs
He promised me a sight so rare
As we arrived at Fleetwood Fair
I hadn't noticed as the sun went down
But somehow it was night
My fortune told, I drank some wine
I felt my head grow light
A thousand voices filled the air
The walls closed in on Fleetwood Fair
Oh, the west wind blows where the wildwood grows
Strips the branches bare
Oh, the west wind blows where the wildwood grows
The day I left for Fleetwood Fair
The sun awoke me and my head felt strange
Like I was coming round
I looked about me, I tried to scream
But I couldn't make a sound
I felt the wind blow through my hair
There was no trace of Fleetwood Fair
There was no trace of Fleetwood Fair
Oh, the west wind blows where the wildwood grows
Strips the branches bare
Oh, the west wind blows where the wildwood grows
Well, you may chance it if you dare
I won't go back to Fleetwood Fair
He once was a true love of mine
