Woman In White movie - Lammastide lyrics
rate me<br>
(Suddenly villagers arrive. <br>
They are processing to the church with the fruits of the harvest. <br>
There is cider-drinking and dancing. <br>
Hartright, Laura and Marian get immediately caught up in the festivities)<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
<br>
Ripe golden fields and the <br>
bounty the bring<br>
Reason enough for to dance and to sing<br>
Dance for who knows if we'll live till its spring<br>
Sing<br>
For it's Lammastide<br>
<br>
(A young girl goes up to Laura and gives her a corn dolly)<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
<br>
Winds of the winter<br>
As sharp as a thorn<br>
Soon will assault us<br>
As sure as we're born<br>
<br>
GIRL<br>
<br>
Who will protect us?<br>
A doll made of corn<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
<br>
Dance!<br>
For it's Lammastide<br>
<br>
MEN<br>
<br>
Please spend the season<br>
Pressed in my arms<br>
Rest in my arms<br>
<br>
WOMEN<br>
<br>
Merrily, merrily<br>
<br>
We'll end the season<br>
Wrapped in your arms<br>
<br>
MEN<br>
<br>
Trapped in your arms<br>
<br>
WOMEN<br>
<br>
Verily, verily<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
<br>
Ripe golden fields and the <br>
bounty they bring<br>
Reason enough for to dance and to sing<br>
Dance for who knows if we'll live till it's spring<br>
Sing<br>
For it's Lammastide<br>
<br>
MEN<br>
<br>
Please end the season<br>
Pressed in my arms<br>
Blessed in my arms<br>
<br>
WOMEN<br>
<br>
Verily, verily<br>
Although we may protest in your arms<br>
We'll nest in your arms<br>
<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
<br>
Merrily, merrily<br>
<br>
After we harvest the fruits of the earth<br>
Time for the home and a moment of mirth<br>
<br>
MEN<br>
<br>
Time for a dance<br>
<br>
WOMEN<br>
<br>
And the chance of rebirth<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
<br>
Sing<br>
For it's Lammastide<br>
ALL<br>
<br>
Ripe golden fields and the bounty they bring<br>
Reason enough for to dance and to sing<br>
Dance for who knows if we'll live till it's spring<br>
Sing <br>
For it's Lammastide!<br>
Dance <br>
For it's Lammastide!<br>
Sing<br>
For it's Lammastide!<br>
<br>
(At the end of the song, <br>
we see the same young girl being excluded from the festivities. <br>
her mother scolds her and she does not enter the church with the others)<br>
<br>
MOTHER (to little girl)<br>
<br>
You'll wait outside till you see sense my girl<br>
<br>
<br>
