I Must Away Love
I must away Love I can no longer tarry
The morning tempest, I have to cross
I will be guided, with out a star love
Into the arms I love the best.
I walked up to her bedroom window
I leaned my back there against a stone
I whispered softly into her window
My darling lassie do you lie alone.
She raised her head from her snowy pillow
And with her arms raised across her breasts
She said who is this at my bedroom window
Disturbing me at my long nights rest.
I said my true love it's your own true lover
So open the door now and let me in
For I have come on a long, long journey
And I am drenched unto the skin.
She opened the door then without a murmur
She opened the door then and let me in
We gently kissed and embraced each other
And in the morning we lay as one.
The day was dawning the cocks were crawing
The birds were whistling in every tree
Farewell my true love for I must leave thee
For now the long night has turned to day.
The morning tempest, I have to cross
I will be guided, with out a star love
Into the arms I love the best.
I walked up to her bedroom window
I leaned my back there against a stone
I whispered softly into her window
My darling lassie do you lie alone.
She raised her head from her snowy pillow
And with her arms raised across her breasts
She said who is this at my bedroom window
Disturbing me at my long nights rest.
I said my true love it's your own true lover
So open the door now and let me in
For I have come on a long, long journey
And I am drenched unto the skin.
She opened the door then without a murmur
She opened the door then and let me in
We gently kissed and embraced each other
And in the morning we lay as one.
The day was dawning the cocks were crawing
The birds were whistling in every tree
Farewell my true love for I must leave thee
For now the long night has turned to day.
