The Night Visiting Song
A Lover's Farewell: Embracing the Night's Tempest
Lyrics
I must away, love, I can no longer tarry
I must leave, my love, I cannot stay any longer
This morning's tempest I have to cross
This morning's storm I have to navigate
I must be guided without a stumble
I must be guided without any misstep
Into the arms I love the most
To be in the arms of the one I love the most
And when he came to his true love's dwelling
Upon reaching his true love's home
He knelt down gently upon a stone
He knelt down gently on a stone
And through her window he whispered lowly
Whispered through her window softly
Is my true lover within at home?
Asking if his true lover is at home
Wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover
Calling his true love to wake up
Wake up wake up love and let me in
Urging her to open the door
For I am tired love and oh so weary
Expressing fatigue and weariness
And more than near drenched to the skin
Being soaked to the skin
She's raised her off her down soft pillow
She has risen from her soft pillow
She's raised her off and she's let him in
She has let him in
And they were locked in each other's arms
They embrace passionately
Until that long night was past and gone
Locked in each other's arms until the night passes
And when that long night was passed and over
When the long night is finally over
And when the small clouds began to grow
As the small clouds begin to appear
He's taken her hand and they've kissed and parted
They kiss and part ways
And he saddled and mounted and away did go
He prepares to leave, saddles up, and departs
I must away love I can no longer tarry
Repetition of the need to leave due to a morning storm
This morning's tempest I have to cross
Reiterating the urgency to cross the storm
I must be guided without a stumble
Emphasizing the need for guidance without stumbling
Into the arms I love the most
Repeating the desire to be in the arms of the most loved one
