Do you remember what we promised when we met, my love?
There would never be a reason for regret, my love;
The news has come to town, the news flies up and down
That another you have found to lie with you, my love
If the wind doth whisper by that it's not true, my love
And the seas could rise and cry that it's not you, my love;
If the hills could only say that you were on your way
Then happy I would stay and be with you, my love
Ev'ry night I light a light for your return, my love
But the morning light's a lesson to be learned, my love;
That I, who learned to trust, have been betrayed at last
Forever I'll be cursed for wanting you, my love
Remember what we promised when we met, my love
There would never be a reason for regret, my love;
But I, who learned to trust, have been betrayed at last
Forever I'll be cursed for wanting you, my love
