The Night Visit

I must away, love, no longer tarry
 This roaring tempest I have to cross
 I must be guided without a fall
 Into the arms I love the best
 When he came to his true love's dwelling
 He's knelt down gently upon a stone
 Through the window he's whispered soft
 "Is my true lover within at home?"
 She's raised her up from off her pillow
 She's raised her up from off her bed
 And through the window she's whispered soft
 "Who's that disturbing my own night's rest?"
 ♪
 "Wake up, wake up, love, it's your own true lover
 Wake up, wake up, love, and let me in
 Oh how the wind blows and how it rains
 Oh I am wet, love, unto the skin"
 She's raised her up from off her pillow
 She's raised her up and let him
 They were locked in each other's arms
 Until the long night was passed and gone
 ♪
 When the long night was passed and gone
 When the dark clouds, they did divide
 He's leaned down gently and kissed her soft
 He saddled up and away did ride
 He's mounted up on his horse and away did ride
 He's mounted up on his horse and away did ride
