As She Rides By

Lord, how I must make a pitiful sight

Standing alone in the rain tonight

I've abandoned a room that's warm and dry

To gaze at my love as she rides by

As she rides by

As she rides by

To gaze at my love

As she rides by

Lord, how I wish I was wealthy and free

I'd know my love and she'd know me

I would build me a tower, I'd build it high

Smile at my love as she rode by

As she rode by

As she rode by

Smile at my love

As she rode by

Lord, but a tower needs bricks and lime

Land for to stand and a host of time

Men for to raise it to the sky

And all for my love as she rides by

As she rides by

As she rides by

And all for my love

As she rides by

Lord, but a dream is a pleasure to find

I've built a tower in my mind

And I’ve only to blink and close my eye

To gaze at my love as she rides by

As she rides by

As she rides by

To gaze at my love

As she rides by

As she rides by

As she rides by

To gaze at my love

As she rides by
