The Sea

High up on the hillside
Where you can view the sea
That's where they found the beggar thief
Four more months inside that lonely prison cell
Four more months without his lovely darling girl

Far out in the country
Down by the river stream
She went looking for him but knew it weren't to be
And then she'd come to terms that he'd gone missing
Hoping her broken heart would mend before the spring

Four more months had passed and still there was no sign
The spring had come and gone and turned to summertime
And as the golden sun set in the autumn fields
She had found the answer and then she'd finally healed
For in that dark damp prison
He had met his fate
Dreaming of his darling
Dreaming of that day when
High up on that hillside
Where you can view the sea
She would find him waiting
And then they would marry

High up on the hillside
Where you can view the sea
That's where they found the beggar thief
Four more months inside that lonely prison cell
Four more months without his lovely darling girl
