My Love

Do you remember what we promised when we met, my love?

There would never be a reason for regret, my love

The news has come to town, the news flies up and down

That another you have found to lie with you, my love

If the wind doth whisper by that it's not true, my love

And the seas could rise and cry that it's not you, my love

If the hills could only say that you were on your way

Then happy I would stay and be with you, my love

Ev'ry night I light a light for your return, my love

But the morning light's a lesson to be learned, my love

That I, who learned to trust, have been betrayed at last

Forever I'll be cursed for wanting you, my love

Remember what we promised when we met, my love

There would never be a reason for regret, my love

But I, who learned to trust, have been betrayed at last

Forever I'll be cursed for wanting you, my love
