My lady may I have this dance
|
Forgive a knight who knows no shame
|
My lady may I have this dance
|
And lady may I have your name
|
You danced upon a soldier's arm
|
And I felt the blade of love so keen
|
And when you smiled you did me harm
|
And I was drawn to you, my Queen
|
|
Now these boots may take me where they will
|
Though they may never shine like his
|
There is no knight I would not kill
|
To have my lady's hand to kiss
|
Yes and they did take me through the hall
|
To leave me not one breath from you
|
And they fell silent one and all
|
And you could see my heart was true
|
|
Then I did lead you from the hall
|
And we did ride upon the hill
|
Away beyond the city wall
|
And sure you are my lady still
|
A night in summer long ago
|
The stars were falling from the sky
|
And still, my heart, I have to know
|
Why do you love me, lady, why?
