Lyrics Isobel Anderson - Morveren's Lullaby

Listen close,
As the sun begins to go,
And the river starts to flow,
Oh my love,
I love you so.

And I've wanted you,
For son long.
With an aching,
That must be wrong.
I'll be your woman, you whore and you're Queen,
It's so simple what you have to do for me.

Just let me play with you boy.

But you stayed,
You stayed away.
Until now I called you here today.
And now you're here,
Everything's brand new,
And this song,
I'll sing for you.

And when you hear my voice,
You'll begin to drown,
And i'll drag you,
I'll drag you down.
And on your head i'll place a crown,
You''ll forget everything up until now.

Just let me play with you boy.

And when night falls,
We'll walk among the trees,
You'll lay me down,
To lie in the leaves,
And i'll sing you,
I'll sing you to sleep,
And when I wake you'll be gone,
Far away from me.

But I'll always be your woman,
You're whore, your queen.
A memory that lingers in your dreams,
A melody that lingers in your thoughts,
And for me,
And for me it's a curse,
Left to haunt.

Just let me play with you boy.
