Steeleye Span - We Shall Wear Midnight lyrics

[Steeleye Span - We Shall Wear Midnight lyrics]

You made me older than my years
I am young and barely grown
And when I cry, I cry your tears
For I have no life of my own
Why don't you write me some candlelight
And wear your heart of gold?
And I will wear these Aching
Heartbreaking years
''Til one day I shall wear midnight
And if you should scream
From your darkest dream
And in a whisper you'll hear me call?
And for a while I'll be sweet sixteen
And I'll have no power at all
Why don't you write me a moonlight night
And wear your finest hour
And I will wear these Aching
Heartbreaking years
Til one day I shall wear midnight
I am young, you are old
But not heartless and cold


I am warm from the love that you have shown
But, you conjured me up
From your hat full of dreams
And you keep me in a world of your own
Why don't you write me a guiding light
And wear your heart's desire?
And I will wear these Aching
Heartbreaking years
Why don’t you write me a guiding
Light and wear your heart’s desire
And I will wear these
Aching, heartbreaking years, ‘til one day
I shall wear midnight
And when you lay down on your final word
It will be no comfort to me
I have lived by the pen and
I’ll die by the sword
When it’s time to set me free
Why don’t you write me a gallant knight
And wear your honour and sword
And I will wear these
Aching, heartbreaking years, ‘til one day
I shall wear midnight
One day I shall wear midnight
‘Til one day we shall wear midnight
