My Days Are Numbered
Under the greenwood tree,
Beneath the midnight sun,
Stood my love and me,
Knowing we’re done.
Days too short a count,
Nights too soon pass,
Despite all charms,
We now must part.
Beneath the midnight sun,
Stood my love and me,
Knowing we’re done.
Days too short a count,
Nights too soon pass,
Despite all charms,
We now must part.
Tears glimmer in our eyes,
Sadness in our smiles,
Hearts heavy,
Feet dreary.
With the breeze,
By and by,
My love’s gone,
Far away over the yond.
Blow wind blow,
My days are numbered, I know,
I’ll not see tomorrow,
And you’ll see me no more.
