Against the Wind Lyrics

If you were a minstrel

You'd sing me six lovesongs

To tell the hole world of

The love that we share



If you were a merchant

You'd bring me six diamonds

And six blood-red roses

For your love to wear



But you are a simple man

A poor common farmer

I'll take your six ribbons

To tie back my hair



Yellow and brown, blue as the sky,

Red as my blood, green as your eyes



If I were a minstrel

I'd sing you six lovesongs

To tell the hole world of

The love that we share



If I were a merchant

I'd bring you six diamonds

With six blood-red roses

For my love to wear



But I am a simple man

A poor common farmer

So take my six ribbons

To tie back your hair



Yellow and brown (yellow and brown), blue as the sky (blue as the sky),

Red as my blood, green as your eyes



So i'm not afraid my love

You're never the lone love

And i wear your six ribbons

To tie back my (your) hair



Oh, but i am a simple man

A poor common farmer

So take my six ribbons

To tie back your hair



Torelee, torely (?)

All we can share

Is only six ribbons

To tie back your (my) hair



Torelee, torely (?)

All we can share

Is only six ribbons

To tie back your (my) hair
