adam gubman - fair as a rose lyrics
with hair like fire, in love’s desire
the maiden, fair as a rose
her eyes all gl-ssen, out plucked, a lyre
the maiden, fair as a rose
her hands a wrought with the stiffness came
i love her fast, with no fear or shame
i found her here, my love so dear
the maiden, fair as a rose
came stumbled on, like a pebble shorn
the maiden, fair as a rose
‘neath gr-sses, feathered, her nightgown worn
the maiden, fair as a rose
her skin, still fresh, though who knows how long
she lie, like this, half alive, half gone
it seems too late, bear, a peasant’s fate
the maiden, fair as a rose
lai lai lai, lai lai, lai lai, lai lai
lai lai, lai lai, lai lai
lai lai lai, lai lai, lai lai lai, lai lai
the maiden, fair as a rose
with feet like branches, her touch aloof
the maiden, fair as a rose
the leaves and dirt frame her perfect youth
the maiden, fair as a rose
the night wards off what the day once brought
la da dee, la da dum, it’s a beggar’s lot
now her sweet perfume fills the night, she blooms
the maiden, fair as a rose
been sitting still, like a thrushen grebe
with my maiden, fair as a rose
i’ll sit all night, les my birdy leave
the maiden, fair as a rose
though she might have once
voice is mute, silence
no flitter, no warble, or whistle hence
and profess her love, never heard, never nought
i can sit and rot like a fragrant sot
as her face grows cold, and her body taut
you get what you need and i got what i want
the maiden, fair as a rose
never warm, never loud, never fear, never proud…
the maiden, fair as a rose
lai lai lai, lai lai, lai lai, lai lai
lai lai, lai lai, lai lai
lai lai lai, lai lai, lai lai lai, lai lai
the maiden, fair as a rose
