Blackest Crow

as time draws near my dearest dear when you and i must part

how lithe you know of grief and woe in my poor aching heart

each night i suffer for your sake you’re the girl i love so dear

i wish that i was going with you or you were staying here

i wish my breast were made of glass wherein you might behold

upon my heart your name lies wrote in letters made of gold

in letters made of gold my love believe when i say

you are the one that i will adore until my dying day

the blackest crow that ever flew would surely turn white

if i ever prove false to you bright day will turn to night

bright day will turn to night my love the elements will mourn

if i ever prove false to you the seas will rage and burn

and when you’re on some distant shore think of your absent friend

and when the wind blows high and clear a light to me pray send

and when the wind blows high and clear pray send your love to me

that i might know your handwrite how time has gone with thee

pray send your love to me

your love to me pray send
