Lyrics
I must away, love, I can no longer tarry
The morning tempest I have to cross
I will be guided without a star, love
Into the arms I love the best
I walked up to her bedroom window
I laid my head there against the sill
I whispered softly into her window
My darling lassie, do you lie ill?
She raised her head from her snowy pillow
And with her arms raised across her breast
Said "Who is this at my bedroom window
Disturbing me at my long night's rest?"
I said "My true love, it's your own true lover
Open the door now and let me in
For I've come on a long, long journey
And I am drenched unto the skin"
She opened the door then without a murmur
Opened the door then and let me in
We gently kissed and embraced each other
And in the morning vision
The day was dawning, the clouds were drawing
The birds were whistling in every tree
Farewell, my true love, for I must leave you
For now the long night has turned to day
I must away, love, I can no longer tarry
The morning tempest I have to cross
I will be guided without a star, love
Into the arms I love the best
