I Must Away Love

I must away Love I can no longer tarry
 The morning tempest, I have to cross
 I will be guided, with out a star love
 Into the arms I love the best.
 I walked up to her bedroom window
 I leaned my back there against a stone
 I whispered softly into her window
 My darling lassie do you lie alone.
 She raised her head from her snowy pillow
 And with her arms raised across her breasts
 She said who is this at my bedroom window
 Disturbing me at my long nights rest.
 I said my true love it's your own true lover
 So open the door now and let me in
 For I have come on a long, long journey
 And I am drenched unto the skin.
 She opened the door then without a murmur
 She opened the door then and let me in
 We gently kissed and embraced each other
 And in the morning we lay as one.
 The day was dawning the cocks were crawing
 The birds were whistling in every tree
 Farewell my true love for I must leave thee
 For now the long night has turned to day.
