Night Visiting Song Lyrics by John McCusker

Yella Hoose

0

[Verse 1]
I must away love, no longer tarry
This roaring tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a fall
Into the arms I love the best
[Verse 2]
And when he came up to his true-love's dwelling
He's knelt down gently upon the stone
And through the window he's whispered soft
Is my true lover within at home?
[Verse 3]
She's raised her up from off her pillow
She's raised her up from off her bed
And through the window she's whispered soft
"Who's that disturbeth my own night's rest?"
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
"Wake up, wake up, love, it's your own true love
Wake up, wake up, love, and let me in
Oh, how the wind blows and how it rains
Oh, I am wet, love, unto the skin"
[Verse 5]
She's raised her up from off her pillow
She's raised her up and let him in
Oh, they were locked in each other's arms
Until the long night was past and o'er
[Verse 6]
And when the long night was passed and o'er
Oh, when the dawn clouds they did divide
He's leaned down gently and kissed her soft
He's saddled up and away did ride
He's mounted up on his horse, away did ride
He's mounted up on his horse and away did ride
