Folk Song

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 it's 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
