Save Your Tears Songtext
von Hildegard von Blingin’

I saw thee dancing from the gallery
Thou lookest gay when I am not with thee
But then my presence caught thee by surprise
A single tear drop falling from thine eyes

I know not why, I run away
I make thee cry when I run away

With no portent how could I divine
That our love would wither on the vine?
And now I find no favor in thine eyes
I am more ghost than someone to despise

I know not why, I run away
I make thee cry when I run away


Though I wandered, once I wished to stay
Save thy tears for another
Save thy tears for another day
Save they tears for another day

′Twas my folly in that month of May
When I vowed to thee that I would stay
But ask me not why swans in winter fly
For they can no more bide with thee than I

I know not why, I run away
I make thee cry when I run away

Though I wandered once, I wish to stay
Save thy tears for the morrow
And if it pleases thee, send me away
I would spare thee any sorrow
Save thy tears for another day
Save thy tears for another day


I know not why, I run away
I make thee cry when I run away
Save thy tears for another day
Save thy tears for another day
