heather dale - lily maid lyrics

Loading...

good sir, i now present myself before you.
with velvet robes and lilies in my hair,
my ladies do their best with what they’re given,
and i only pray that you will find me fair.

i ask you leave a penny for the bargeman
and one in penance for the hearts you break.
and keep these words forever as reminder
of what sends a dying lily to the lake.

dear lancelot, my sorrow clad in silver,
you see my thoughts return to you again.
you came to me as others come a-courting
but nothing is with you as other men.

i ask you leave a penny for the sermon
and another for the errors that you make.
and keep these words forever as reminder
of what sends a dying lily to the lake.

with trembling hands i held your life inside you
but failed to earn your favour for my own.
your coppers were an empty consolation,
for my needs are met by you, and you alone.

i ask you leave a penny for the water
and another for the liberties you take.
and keep these words forever as reminder
of what sends a dying lily to the lake.

please keep these words, my love, as a reminder.
