|
Winds may blow over the icy sea
|
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
|
A taste of honey
|
A taste much sweeter than wine
|
|
I will return
|
I'll return
|
I'll come back for the honey and you
|
|
I'll leave behind my heart to wear
|
And may it e'er remind you of
|
A taste of honey
|
A taste much sweeter than wine
|
|
I will return
|
I'll return
|
I'll come back for the honey and you
|
|
He ne'er came back to his love so fair
|
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
|
His kiss of honey
|
A taste more bitter than wine
|
|
I will return
|
I will return
|
I'll come back for the honey and you
|
I'll come back for the honey and you!
