She said come and take me in a field of rye

Take me in my youth not when I'm old and dry

For the days are too short in time I am cold

She said come and take me while I am still young



She said lay your hand upon my heart to dread

wrap me in your arms and take me to my bed

for time it wont wait and soon is too late

She said come and take me while I am still young



Take me in the spring time

With my breasts firm

When my eyes shine

When I'm the object of mad desire

Half a woman and half a child

She said come and take me while I am in bed



When my hair is black and I'm full of love

Take me if you please

Time flies on the breeze

She said come and take me while I am still young



Take me in the spring time

With my breasts firm

When my eyes shine

When I'm the object of mad desire

Half a woman and half a child
