Steeleye Span - The Dreamer and the Widow lyrics
[Steeleye Span - The Dreamer and the Widow lyrics]
A widow was walking all by the millstream
A young man he saw her and started to dream
He dreamed of her beauty
He dreamed of her love
And he had a thought, he had a thought
He had a thought how to have her
He's crept up beside her and softly he said
Come lie down beside me and don't be afraid
I'll love you and please
You and be your tonight
And drive out all cares
And drive out all cares
And drive out all carеs 'til the morning
"No, no", said the widow
She stood in surprisе
But his words they had warmed
Her and brightened her eyes
His dream pressed around them
He kissed her awhile and then they lay down
And then they lay down
And then they lay down in the evening
In the cooler light of morning
He woke from the dream
He saw the sad widow in her weeds
Dark and mean
His fickle love vanished in the
Blink of an eye
And he's wandered away, he's wandered away
He's wandered away to some other
So come all you women that hunger for love
Don't listen to dreamers, for sadly it's true
That dreams are as nothing
They fade with the dawn
And can't be recalled, and can't be recalled
And can't be recalled in the morning
And can't be recalled in the morning
A young man he saw her and started to dream
He dreamed of her beauty
He dreamed of her love
And he had a thought, he had a thought
He had a thought how to have her
He's crept up beside her and softly he said
Come lie down beside me and don't be afraid
I'll love you and please
You and be your tonight
And drive out all cares
And drive out all cares
And drive out all carеs 'til the morning
"No, no", said the widow
She stood in surprisе
But his words they had warmed
Her and brightened her eyes
His dream pressed around them
He kissed her awhile and then they lay down
And then they lay down
And then they lay down in the evening
In the cooler light of morning
He woke from the dream
He saw the sad widow in her weeds
Dark and mean
His fickle love vanished in the
Blink of an eye
And he's wandered away, he's wandered away
He's wandered away to some other
So come all you women that hunger for love
Don't listen to dreamers, for sadly it's true
That dreams are as nothing
They fade with the dawn
And can't be recalled, and can't be recalled
And can't be recalled in the morning
And can't be recalled in the morning
