Morveren's lullaby
Isobel andersonAs the sun begins to go
And the river starts to flow
Oh my love
I love you so
And I've wanted you
For so long
With an aching
That must be wrong
I'll be your woman, your whore and your queen
It's so simple what you have to do for me
Just let me play with you boy
But you stayed
You stayed away
Until now I called you here today
And now you're here
Everything's brand new
And this song
I'll sing for you
And when you hear my voice
You'll begin to drown
And I'll drag you
I'll drag you down
And on your head I'll place a crown
You'll forget everything up until now
Just let me play with you boy
And when night falls
We'll walk among the trees
You'll lay me down
To lie in the leaves
And I'll sing you
I'll sing you to sleep
And when I wake you'll be gone
Far away from me
But I'll always be your woman
Your whore, your queen
A memory that lingers in your dreams
A melody that lingers in your thoughts
And for me
And for me it's a curse
Left to haunt
Just let me play with you boy
