Cambridge Town (demo) Songtext
von Nick Garrie

I met my love in Cambridge Town
The waters, they still run beside the mill
I called his name in the morning frost
The waters, they still run beside the mill

Oh, where have you been, these ten days three?
Why is it you stay away from me?
I stay from you, he answered me
For my heart is no longer free


Oh, hush, sweet love, you frighten me
Tomorrow, I must married be
Your words are daggers that cannot be
Tomorrow, I shall married be

You asked my hand, my life, I gave
The love we share binds you to me
Alas, fair maid, that love is dead
And tomorrow, I am to be wed

I walked alone in Cambridge Town
The waters, they still run beside the mill
I spied my love inside his home
The waters, they still run beside the mill


I called his name in the morning frost
My true love, he hid his face from me
I shared bitter tears for the girl I had lost
But the waters, they still ran beside the mill
