Brenda Wootton - Lyonesse

“Lyonesse is a country in Arthurian legend, particularly in the story of Tristan and Iseult. Said to border Cornwall, it is most notable as the home of the hero Tristan, whose father was king. In later traditions Lyonesse is said to have sunk beneath the waves some time after the Tristan stories take place, making it similar to Ys and other lost lands in medieval Celtic tales, and perhaps connecting it with the Isles of Scilly.“ song by Richard Gendall Brenda Wootton - vocals David King - acoustic guitar I Lyonesse, Lyonesse, where are your shores? Houses and villages, houses and villages, seen no more, Lyonesse, Lyonesse, under the sea, Dreams lie with mermaids, children to be, Dreams lie with mermaids, children, to be. II Royal line, Royal line, where your domaine? Of your bright palaces, of your bright palaces, none remain, Royal line, Royal line, will you return? Where bones lie mouldering under the fern, Where bones lie mouldering under the fern. III Every year, every year,
