Woodshedders - Watermaid lyrics

rate me

Down 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
