lyrics

It’s been ten long years since the boy went singing
To his true love’s door
Crying “Oh my true love, let me in”
Ten long years or more

Down she comes with her falling hair
Comes to let him in
Comes to show him a secret light, burning

"You’re the only one for me
You’re the only one for me
And you’ll always be
The only one for me"

Now the boy walks in stony silence
His hollow footsteps ring
Along the streets where he once went spinning
Loving everything
Now the footprints of crows and sparrows
Gather ‘round his eyes
Now the weight of the world has cut him
Down to size

"You’re the only one for me
You’re the only one for me
And you’ll always be
The only one for me"

It’s been ten long years since the boy went singing
To his true love’s door
Crying “Oh my true love, Let me in”
Ten long years or more
