Much to my regret the profider that hosted my webpages
for more than 25 years has announced that after 1 July
2026 they end the hosting service.
Therefore all my web pages have been moved to another
provider, which means the base URL changes from
https://josvg.home.xs4all.nl/ to http://www.josvg.dds.nl/.
The current page can now be found here.

Loreena McKennitt - Come by the hills

Come by the hills to the land
     where fancy is free.
And stand where the peaks meet the sky
     and the rocks reach the sea.
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken
     is gold in the sun.
And cares of tomorrow must wait
     till this day is done.

Come by the hills to the land
     where life is a song
And sing while the birds fill the air
     with their joy all day long.
Where the trees sway in time, and even
     the wind sings in tune.
And cares of tomorrow must wait
     till this day is done.

Come by the hills to the land
     where legend remains
Where stories of old stir the heart
     and may yet come again.
Where the past has been lost and the future
     is still to be won.
And cares of tomorrow must wait
     till this day is done.

Come by the hills to the land
     where fancy is free.
And stand where the peaks meet the sky
     and the rocks reach the sea.
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken
     is gold in the sun.
And cares of tomorrow must wait
     till this day is done.
And cares of tomorrow must wait
     till this day is done.

Traditional, arr. and adapted by Loreena McKennitt
From: Elemental (1985).
