Under The Greenwood Tree Lyrics

Dawn draws near and you rise wearily From my bed in search of your own As you go my thoughts turn drearily To the empty hours I shall spend alone (Chorus:) If you love me come discreetly Down to meet me under the greenwood tree (Repeat) Thrushes sing The breeze wanders aimlessly Through the weeping willows and the oak Memories of the nights we've spent shamelessly Locked in love as cattle to their yoke (Chorus) Till Doomsday we?ll meet this way Cursed am I to court such a lover Who is not betrothed to me For her dowry lies with another And no sadder wife will there be (Chorus)
