i must away now i can no longer tarry this morning s tempest i have to cross i must be guided without a stumble into the arms i love the most and when he came to his true love s dwelling he knelt down gently upon a stone and through her window he s whispered lowly is my true lover within at home wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover wake up wake up love and let me in for i am tired love and oh so weary and more than near drenched to the skin she s raised her off her down soft pillow she s raised her up and she s let him in and they were locked in each other s arms until that long night was past and gone and when that long night was past and over and when the small clouds began to grow he s taken her hand and they ve kissed and parted then he saddled and mounted and away did go i must away now i can no longer tarry this morning s tempest i have to cross i must be guided without a stumble into the arms i love the most
