lyrics

Come away my love,
To the woodland glade on the spice-rich hills,
Your breath is sweet,
Your kiss has me weak,
You're the Lover who delights and fills.

Come away my love,
Come away to where our garden hoards,
A twilight night,
A celestial breeze,
Then wafts its fragrance all abroad.

Your love is, your love is,
More delightful than wine,
And You have whispered, many times now,
I am yours and you're mine.

Come away my love,
'Till the daylight breaks and the shadows flee,
Winter is past,
Praise times have come,
Your voice speaks of delight in me.

Swoon away my love,
I have looked but seen no flaw in you,
Sachet of myrrh,
Clusters of bloom,
That's the way I have of seeing you.

Your love is, Your love is,
More delightful than wine,
And You have whispered, many times now,
I am yours and you're mine.

Come away my love,
To an un-spiced hill on a bleak mid-day,
The earth derides,
The powers pour scorn,
It's the price this Lover had to pay.

I've turned away my Son,
Pleasure swims in waters deep,
The extinguished light,
The howling void,
(My) Whispered love does not come cheap.

Your love has, out-muscled,
Every effect of the Fall,
And You have whispered, many times now,
I loved you before it all.

The Father turned away,
So that the Son could whisper: Come away,
It's because the Father turned away,
That the Son can whisper: Come away,
To the woodland glade,
To the spice-rich hills,
To the summer's heat,
To the kiss that has us weak.

Father, it is widely rumoured, was a Welsh poet; mother was a singer, also from the land of song; offspring: lost bare-footed wanderer until redeemed, now finding his feet, freshly shod and walking in comfortable old genes.
