Folk Song Songtext
von David Gray

I have waited the night over
For some word to come
I asked the moon o′er the clover
But the moon she is dumb
You have made me a promise
At midnight we'd go
And we should be married
Sailing westward to hold
Such words you have spoken
You have told me a lie
That it could not be broken
When you knew it must die
There′s no light in heaven
That my heart can't see
My heart is in prison
That the devil go free
Go free
Like honey in the ocean
And the morning breeze
I take my tears to the water


But the rivers may freeze
There's no light in heaven
That can′t shine for me
My heart in prison
The devil go free
Go free
What folly is beauty
What trick of the skin
Desire its fancy
And ruin its whim
Your child within me
And what can I do
My blood filled with needles
That he look like you
There′s no light in heaven
That my eyes can't see
My heart in prison
That the devil go free
My heart in prison
And the devil go free
No light in heaven
No light for me
