Lyrics
My young love said to me
"My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind."
Then she stepped away from me
This she did say
"It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day
It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day."
As she stepped away from me
She moved through the fair
Fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
Then she turned away homewards
With one star awake
Like a swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
Like a swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
The people were saying
Not who, where, or when
But one had a sorrow
That never was said
And she smiled as she passed
With her goods and her gear
That was the last I saw of my dear
That was the last I saw of my dear
Last night she came to me
My dead love came in
So softly she came that
Her feet made no din
Then she laid her hand on me
This she did say
"It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day
It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day."
