Dearest Dear (feat. Dragging an Ox through Water)

Oh dearest dear the time draws near when you and I must part

And noone knows the inner grief of my poor aching heart

Just to see how I suffered for your sake

You are my love so dear

I'd rather I could go with you or you could tarry here

I wish my breast was made of glass and in it i'd behold

Your name in secret I would write in letters of bright gold

Your name in secret I would write

Pray believe me when I say

That you're the one that I love best until my dying day

And when you're on some distant shore think on your absent friend

And when the wind blows high and clear a line or two pray send

And when the wind blows high and clear

Pray send it love to me

That I should know by your hand write how times have gone with thee
