Go Away My Lover lyrics

[Intro]
Go away, my lover, darling, won't you go?
Leave me to my tower, leave me all alone
Go away, my lover, and cut these tethers free
Leave me to my island of pine and evergreen

[Verse 1]
Go away, my lover, darling, won't you go?
Leave me to my tower, leave me here alone
I'll cast you from my kingdom; I'll cast you from my throne
Go away, my lover, stop bothering me so

[Pre-Chorus]
And I will give you back your letters
And your precious golden rings
I will lay them on your pillow
When you're good and fast asleep
You can blame it one the devil
You can blame it on yourself
But please, go away, my lover
Please go find someone else

[Chorus]
Go away, my lover, darling, won't you go?
Leave me to my tower, leave me all alone
Go away, my lover, and cut these tethers free
Leave me to my island of pine and evergreen

[Bridge]
See your shadow at my window
(I see your shadow at my window)
I feel your spirit in my bed
(I feel your spirit in my bed)
It seems the more that I remember
(It seems the more that I remember)
The more I'm dyin' to forget
(The more I'm dyin' to forget)

[Chorus]
Oh, I will give you one last kiss
If it will put your heart to rest
Go away, my lover, I think that would be best
Go away, my lover, and put your heart to rest
Go away, my lover, I think that would be best
Go away, my lover, and put your heart to rest
