Faster Than the Hound

MacRoth is Maeve's messanger. In this song he reflects on the events of The Tain. I once told her Where she could find her dream. And I still adore her, No matter how it seems. I saw our stars fall, Crash without a sound. Stars go crashing Faster than the Hound. I saw him sleeping Alone beneath the sky. I caught him weeping, And I, for one, knew why. I saw the ravens, Black without a sound. Ravens swirling Faster than the Hound. I travel Ireland in a day. You just nod, I'm on my way. I've golden wings upon my feet. I seldom touch the ground. The only thing I'm not Is faster than the Hound. Now I watch her leaving With the light of people's dreams, Ignorant of rainbows In the trees where we have been. Also there are ravens High above the ground. Ravens growing closer Faster than the Hound
