On the first night of your journey
In the chapel where you pray
Asking Holy Mother Mary
Why they're giving you away
You belong to me
I've been waiting for you baby
since the day that you were born
And though it's bad to be the only
Mary helps you carry on
You, you belong to me
Ermesinde, no one ever let you in
A woman of the world but then
Your tender skin, oh Ermeesinde
Tourmaline can't be found in Oesling
They'll tell you this
but don't give in, oh Ermesinde
On the first day of your journey
Coming out from your bell jar
And the road goes on forever
We wanna stay the way we are
Ermesinde, no one ever let you in
A woman of the world but then
Your tender skin, oh Ermeesinde
Tourmaline can't be found in Oesling
They'll tell you this
but don't give in, oh Ermesinde
In the chapel where you pray
Asking Holy Mother Mary
Why they're giving you away
You belong to me
I've been waiting for you baby

You, you belong to me
Ermesinde, no one ever let you in
