lyrics

I have a pretty young lover who lives over the hill
Her hair is golden and long, her eyes the colour of steel
I try not to forget her, she lives miles away
And I fear I won't see her 'til judgement day

Oh, she gave me a ring made of twisted stems
That grew from a tree all broken and bent
She said my love will never fail, dim or fade
And I'll stay by you for as long as you do the same

And I'll wear the crown I have earned from the years
I built it with patience, alcohol and tears
And if I place on your head a crown much the same
Will you hold my hand and shed tears of pity and shame

And I'l try my best to stay by you
When the feelings go away
'Cause you're worth the wait my darling dear
And though you live miles away I will always be near

And I'l try my best to stay by you
When the feelings go away
'Cause you're worth the wait my darling dear
And though you live miles away I will always be near
