My young love said to me my mother won't mind and my father won't slight you for your lack of kind And she stepped away from me and this she did say it will not be long love 'till our wedding day She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair and fondly I watched her move here and move there And when she went homeward with one star awake as the swan in the evening moves over the lake Last night she came to me and she came softly in so softly she came that her feet made no din And she laid her hand on me and this she did say it will not be long love 'till our wedding day It will not be long love 'till our wedding day If I were an eagle and had wings to fly I would fly to my loves castle and it's there I would lie On that bed of green ivy I would lay myself down And it's with my two fond wings I would my love surround And it's with my two fond wings I would my love surround
