Steeleye Span - All Things Are Quite Silent lyrics

[Steeleye Span - All Things Are Quite Silent lyrics]

All things are quite silent
Each mortal at rest
When me and my true love got snug in one nest
When a bold set of ruffians
Broke into our cave
And they forced my dear jewel
To plough the salt wave

I begged hard for my darling as
I would for my life
They'd not listen to me although a fond wife
Saying, "the king must have sailors, to
The seas he must go, "
And they've left me lamenting
In sorrow and woe

Through green fields and meadows
We ofttimes have walked
And the fond recollections
Together have talked
Where the lark and the blackbird


So sweetly did sing
And the lovely thrushes' voices made
The valleys to ring

Now although I'm forsaken
I won't be be cast down
Who knows but my true love
Some day may return
And will make me amends for
All trouble and strife
And me and my true love
Might live happy for life
