O my Luve…
O my Luve…

O my Luve is like a red, red rose
Newly born in June
Cold night falling through the trees
Beneath a dying moon

I held your name inside my mouth
Like smoke I could not keep
And every promise left behind
Still echoes in my sleep

As fair art thou, my weary love
So deep in you am I
And I will love thee longer still
Till all the oceans dry

The city lights, they fade to black
The rivers cease to run
Yet still I hear your footsteps near
Like shadows in the sun

Till a’ the seas gang dry…
Till a’ the seas gang dry…
And I will luve thee still, my dear…
My dear…
My dear…

The years fell hard like winter rain
Across these broken walls
Your photograph, a fading ghost
Still hanging in the hall

I tried to drown the memory
Inside the crowded bars
But every road led back to you
Beneath these ruined stars

And fare thee well, my only love
Though worlds may pull apart
There is a fire beneath my ribs
Still beating like a heart

And if the earth should turn to dust
If mountains disappear
I’d cross the dark a thousand times
To find you waiting here

Till a’ the seas gang dry…
Till the rocks melt wi’ the sun…
And I will luve thee still, my dear…
Still…
Still…

And I will come again, my love…
Though it were ten thousand mile…
Ten thousand mile…

My dear…

Come again…

Till a’ the seas gang dry…
