The Blackest Crow lyrics

As time draws near my dearest dear
When you and I must part
But little you know of the grief and woe
Of my poor aching heart
Each night I suffer for your sake
You're the girl I love so dear
I wish that I was going with you
Or you were staying here

I wish my breast was made of glass
Wherein you might behold
Oh there your name lies wrote my dear
In letters made of gold
Oh there your name lies wrote my dear
Beliеve me what I say
You are thе one I love the best
Until my dying day

The crow that is so black, my love
Would surely turn to white
If ever I prove false to you
Bright day be turned to night
Bright day be turned to night, my love
The elements would mourn
If ever I prove false to you
The seas would rage and burn
I wish that you and me, my love
Were on Unshady Rise
And we had neither wealth or care
And riches were forgot
I'd wish for every day a week
And every week a year
How happy happy I would be
In the presence of you dear

And when you're on some distant shore
Think of your absent friend
And when the wind blows high and clear
A line to me, pray send
And when the wind blows high and clear
Pray send your love to me
That I might know by your handwrite
How time as gone with thee
