Never Ever Lay Them Down
Cast down in stony gardens
Sweet visitor we heard you say
There grows no grass
And none shall pass
Till some great day of judgement
Oh are we bound for glory
Born on a little fortune's way
Or are we bound for some dark town
And some great northern story
And it's cold, cold, the winter's hold
She shall not think of stalling
She's proud, proud, of every cloud
And will never ever lay them down
Love, love, the winds above
To blow towards your calling
Behold in dreams
Your true love stings
And never ever lay them down
Oh once I played the lover
To follow on a swallow's tail
And what I'd give for to relive
My days of being a rover
But wrapped in love's embraces
Like summer in a silken gown,
How could I pawn what we have sworn
Lay down your gold and silver
And it's cold, cold, the winter's hold
She shall not think of stalling
She's proud, proud, of every cloud
And will never ever lay them down
Love, love, the winds above
To blow towards your calling
Behold in dreams
Your true love stings
And never ever lay them down
Do you see black beaks a gleaming
Did you ever see a magpie's wing
My love did drop those greedy birds
To fill our hearts with singing
Cast down by steel cathedrals
My lover is a fallen star
Who's spark shall stoke
This heart that broke
Held in his hand a beating
And it's cold, cold, the winter's hold
She shall not think of stalling
She's proud, proud, of every cloud
And will never ever lay them down
Love, love, the winds above
To blow towards your calling
Behold in dreams
Your true love stings
And never ever lay them down
Kind eyes in trepidation
Whatever do you hear behold
Cold labour's done and nothing won
Grey stone around your children
But freedom's eyes are golden
And glitter like a silver crown
And none shall fear while love is here
Cast down in stony gardens
And it's cold, cold, the winter's hold
She shall not think of stalling
She's proud, proud, of every cloud
And will never ever lay them down
Love, love, the winds above
To blow towards your calling
Behold in dreams
Your true love stings
And never ever lay them down
Sweet visitor we heard you say
There grows no grass
And none shall pass
Till some great day of judgement
Oh are we bound for glory
Born on a little fortune's way
Or are we bound for some dark town
And some great northern story
And it's cold, cold, the winter's hold
She shall not think of stalling
She's proud, proud, of every cloud
And will never ever lay them down
Love, love, the winds above
To blow towards your calling
Behold in dreams
Your true love stings
And never ever lay them down
Oh once I played the lover
To follow on a swallow's tail
And what I'd give for to relive
My days of being a rover
But wrapped in love's embraces
Like summer in a silken gown,
How could I pawn what we have sworn
Lay down your gold and silver
And it's cold, cold, the winter's hold
She shall not think of stalling
She's proud, proud, of every cloud
And will never ever lay them down
Love, love, the winds above
To blow towards your calling
Behold in dreams
Your true love stings
And never ever lay them down
Do you see black beaks a gleaming
Did you ever see a magpie's wing
My love did drop those greedy birds
To fill our hearts with singing
Cast down by steel cathedrals
My lover is a fallen star
Who's spark shall stoke
This heart that broke
Held in his hand a beating
And it's cold, cold, the winter's hold
She shall not think of stalling
She's proud, proud, of every cloud
And will never ever lay them down
Love, love, the winds above
To blow towards your calling
Behold in dreams
Your true love stings
And never ever lay them down
Kind eyes in trepidation
Whatever do you hear behold
Cold labour's done and nothing won
Grey stone around your children
But freedom's eyes are golden
And glitter like a silver crown
And none shall fear while love is here
Cast down in stony gardens
And it's cold, cold, the winter's hold
She shall not think of stalling
She's proud, proud, of every cloud
And will never ever lay them down
Love, love, the winds above
To blow towards your calling
Behold in dreams
Your true love stings
And never ever lay them down
