donovan – ballad of geraldine lyrics
oh, i was born with the name geraldine
with hair coal black as a raven.
i travelled my life without a care,
ah, but all my love i was savin’.
oh, the winds blew high and the trees did sway,
not much from life was i askin’.
till i met someone to give all my love,
all my love, so long an’ lasting.
oh, good were the parts we played in our game
and a long ways off was tomorrow.
but my love was a rambler and restless as the sea,
and in the tide came sorrow.
oh, a child of the night is goin’ to be born,
i can’t explain my confusion.
is my love thinkin’ to marry me at all
or of the freedom he thinks he’ll be losin’?
i sit with my friends in the gay crowded room,
my friends they’re smokin’ and a-talkin’.
but it all seems so empty, my love is not there,
so i’ll go into the streets a-walkin’.
my baby is a-growin’ as a-growin’ it must,
if i were to lose it, it would grieve me.
my love is so helpless and i’m wonderin’ what to do.
oh, how i yearn to help him.
oh, we could go to the land of your choice
where the false shame won’t come knockin’ at our door.
i’ve a feeling in my heart and it’s crushing all my hopes,
i think i’m gonna be hurt some more,
oh, i was born with the name geraldine,
with hair coal black as a raven.
i travelled my life without a care,
ah, but all my love i was savin
