I wonder what's keeping my true love tonight
I wonder what is keeping you out of my sight
I wonder if you know of the pain I endure
And yet you stay from me, this night I'm not sure
Oh, love, are you coming your cause to advance
Or yet are you waiting for far better chance
Are you coming to tell me you've a new love in store
Are you coming to tell me you love me no more?
Oh love I'm not coming my own cause to advance
Or yet am I waiting for far better chance
I'm coming to tell you of a new love in store
Yes, I'm coming to tell you I love you no more
For I can love lightly, and I can love strong
And I can love the old till the new love comes on
And I only said I loved you for to give your heart ease
And when I'm not with you, I love who I please.
There's gold in my pocket, but a pain in my heart
For I can't let the love with too many sweethearts
You're my first and only false love but it's lately I knew
That the the fonder I loved you, the falser you grew
Spring grass grows the sweetest, spring water runs clear
And sorry I've tormented for the love of life's false tear
Your love, it lies as lightly as the dew on the thorn
That descends in the evening, the rain with the warm
I wonder what is keeping you out of my sight
I wonder if you know of the pain I endure
And yet you stay from me, this night I'm not sure
Oh, love, are you coming your cause to advance
Or yet are you waiting for far better chance
Are you coming to tell me you've a new love in store
Are you coming to tell me you love me no more?
Oh love I'm not coming my own cause to advance
Or yet am I waiting for far better chance
I'm coming to tell you of a new love in store
Yes, I'm coming to tell you I love you no more
For I can love lightly, and I can love strong
And I can love the old till the new love comes on
And I only said I loved you for to give your heart ease
And when I'm not with you, I love who I please.
There's gold in my pocket, but a pain in my heart
For I can't let the love with too many sweethearts
You're my first and only false love but it's lately I knew
That the the fonder I loved you, the falser you grew
Spring grass grows the sweetest, spring water runs clear
And sorry I've tormented for the love of life's false tear
Your love, it lies as lightly as the dew on the thorn
That descends in the evening, the rain with the warm
