I have waited the night over
|
For some word to come
|
I asked the moon o'er the clover
|
But the moon she is dumb
|
|
You have made me a promise
|
At midnight we'd go
|
And that we should be married
|
Sailing westward ho
|
|
Such words you have spoken
|
You have told me a lie
|
That it could not be broken
|
When you knew it must die
|
|
There's no light in heaven
|
My eye can see
|
That my heart be imprisoned
|
While the devil go free
|
Go free
|
|
Like honey the ocean
|
In the morning breeze
|
I'll take my tears to the water
|
That the rivers may freeze
|
|
There's no light in heaven
|
Can shine for me
|
That my heart be imprisoned
|
While the devil go free
|
Go free
|
|
What folly is beauty
|
What trick of the skin
|
Desire its fancy
|
And ruin its whim
|
Your child within me
|
And what can I do
|
My blood fill with needles
|
That he look like you
|
|
There's no light in heaven
|
My eye can see
|
That my heart be imprisoned
|
While the devil go free
|
My heart be imprisoned
|
While the devil go free
|
No light in heaven
|
No light for me
|
