Blackmore's Night - Peasant's Promise lyrics

rate me

<BR>

One warm summer night<br>

He rode into sight<br>

On a wild mare that was so perfectly white<br>

I'd dreamed he'd return<br>

and I was right<br>

Wishes can come true when you wish with all your might...<br>

<br>

One look in his eyes<br>

I had realized<br>

His life was so simple he had no disguise<br>

He lived day to day, no promise he would stay<br>

But in these few words he stole my heart away<br>

<br>

He said:<br>

"My life's not to lead<br>

Through power or greed<br>

I am but a poor man<br>

when I'm cut I bleed<br>

A more humble man you never will meet<br>

And here is my heart for only you to keep..."<br>

<br>

In the shade of the willow tree<br>

My poor peasant promised to me<br>

<br>

No scholarly thoughts, he couldn't pay high costs<br>

And sometimes it feels like he's totally lost<br>

But he said this true and he said it loud<br>

"I promise you my heart with this solemn vow..."<br>

<br>

One warm summer night<br>

He rode out of sight<br>

On a wild mare that was so perfectly white<br>

I'd dreamed he'd return and I was right<br>

Wishes can come true when you wish with all your might...<br>

<br>

In the shade of the willow tree<br>

My poor peasant promised to me.<br>

<br>

In the shade of the willow tree<br>

My poor peasant promised to me.<br>

<BR><BR>
