Testo di Lover's Farewell

We have met and we have parted We have spoke our last goodbye You have proved to me false hearted You may now forever go You have ]wrecked the heart I've cherished You have done me day by day You are false but I'll forgive you To forget you I cannot say CHORUS For I love you dear I love you More than all this world I know You have proved to me false hearted You may now forever go On the river bank I'll loiter Till I see your face once more Then I'll plunge beneath the water And I'll land on some far shore CHORUS Among the trees and bushes Where the dark green willow sway In the cold and silent rushes There you'll find my lonely grave CHORUS O I wish I was white marble Cold and white on some far shore This poor heart would cease from troubling And I'd feel the pain no more CHORUS
