Woodshedders - Watermaid lyrics
rate meDown the winding lane<br />
Where the dogs are laying<br />
And the breeze is blowing<br />
Through the corn growing<br />
In the shady tree<br />
It occurred to me<br />
As the afternoon<br />
Brought out the moon<br />
<br />
To walk the valley slow<br />
Through the thunder go<br />
By the mountainside<br />
Where the rain hides<br />
Where the river tops<br />
The willow mops<br />
On a summer's day<br />
I lost my way<br />
Ooh<br />
<br />
Up a beryl stream<br />
Into a dream<br />
By the draping edge<br />
I made a bed<br />
And awoke to see<br />
Caring over me<br />
The curly braids<br />
Of a watermaid<br />
<br />
Into the mere<br />
She drew me near<br />
I mistook the sound<br />
Of sinking down<br />
For the whisper she made<br />
A kiss she gave<br />
Her caressing hand<br />
For the sinking sand<br />
<br />
I was nearly deceived<br />
In enchantment weaved<br />
Nearly laid<br />
In the water grave<br />
But love words my arms<br />
Broke the charm<br />
And carried home<br />
In the deeping gloam<br />
<br />
My darling found<br />
With love I bound<br />
Removed the curse<br />
I sang the verse<br />
For I caught<br />
The river daughter<br />
By me she'll dwell<br />
In the water well<br />
Ooh
