June Tabor - False, False lyrics
[June Tabor - False, False lyrics]
False, false have you been to me, my love
Oh, when did you change your mind?
Ah, but since you've laid your
Love on another fair maid
I'm afraid that you're no more mine
I was climbing to a tree that
Was too high for me
Asking for fruit where there weren't any grew
I've been lifting warm water
Out beneath cold clay
And against the stream I was rowing
But, I mean to climb up some higher
Higher tree
And harry a white snowflake's nest
And down shall I fall, ay, without any fear
To the arms that love me best
Oh, when did you change your mind?
Ah, but since you've laid your
Love on another fair maid
I'm afraid that you're no more mine
I was climbing to a tree that
Was too high for me
Asking for fruit where there weren't any grew
I've been lifting warm water
Out beneath cold clay
And against the stream I was rowing
But, I mean to climb up some higher
Higher tree
And harry a white snowflake's nest
And down shall I fall, ay, without any fear
To the arms that love me best
