| [1:17] |
I followed her into the west, |
| [1:22] |
Where I had never been before; |
| [1:27] |
And never did she see me as, |
| [1:33] |
I stood there helpless by the door. |
| [1:40] |
Each day my resolution rose, |
| [1:45] |
And every day an oath I swore; |
| [1:50] |
Tonight I'd stand and be a man, |
| [1:56] |
Tonight I'd knock upon her door. |
| [2:03] |
and shifted pressed cleaned dressed, |
| [2:08] |
I set out my quest once more; |
| [2:14] |
But each night ended as the rest, |
| [2:20] |
I could not knock upon her door. |
| [2:40] |
I paced my room and I cursed myself, |
| [2:45] |
I swallowed that I would go no more; |
| [2:50] |
as the sun was sinking low, |
| [2:55] |
I heard a knocking out my door. |
| [3:01] |
And standing there with food for me, |
| [3:05] |
standing there my heart's delight; |
| [3:11] |
Who said, "I thought you must be ill, |
| [3:17] |
I missed you at my door tonight." |
| [3:34] |
"Now you must eat and you must sleep, “ |
| [3:39] |
Your resolution to restore; |
| [3:44] |
And when these dishes you return, |
| [3:50] |
Be sure to knock upon my door." |
