lyrics

The time draws near
My dearest dear
For you and I to part

What little you know
Of the pain and woe
In my poor aching heart

In my poor aching heart, my love
Believe me when I say
I wish that I could go with you
Or wish that you could stay

The blackest crow that ever few
Would surely turn to white
If ever I prove false to you
Bright day would turn to night

Bright day would turn to night, my love
The elements would mourn
If ever I prove false to you
The seas would rage and burn

I wish my heart was made of glass
Wherein it you’d behold
Upon a note
Your name it wrote
In letters made of gold

In letters made of gold, my love
Believe me when I say
You are the one
That I’ll adore
‘Till my own dying day

When you’re bound for
Some distant shore
Think of your absent friend

And when the wind
Blows high and clear
A line to me pray send

A line to me pray send, my love If it be just a word
From you to me
Across the sea
By bottle or by bird

The blackest crow that ever flew
Would surely turn to white
