Songtext von Nell's Song

My handsome lad where have you been While I've been growing old Whose bed have you been keeping warm While mine grows hard and cold I've waited all these lonely years For you to come to me But you remain, so far way Upon some foreign sea When I was young and in my prime I saved myself for you So sure was I, your love for me Was safe and strong and true But that was years ago my lad With cruel times in-between And I am not a young girl now With features fine and clean La-da-da, la-da-da, la da da La-da-da-da, da-da-ah-da I've grown old these wretched years My hair has turned to grey I'll soon lie in a colder bed With quilts of purest clay If ever you set foot on shore And come upon my stone Remember lad, I lived for you And lived quite all alone And lived quite all alone Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da, da-da
