I've waited the night over

For some word to come

I asked the moon o'er the clover

but the moon she is dumb



You've made me a promise

At midnight we'd go

And that we should be married

Sailing westward ho



Such words you have spoken

You have told me a lie

That it could not be broken

when you knew it must die



There's no light in heaven

That my heart can see

That my heart be imprisioned

While the devil go free

Go free



Like honey the ocean

In the morning breeze

Take my tears to the water

That the rivers may freeze



There's no light in heaven

Can shine for me

That my heart be imprisioned

While the devil go free

Go free



What folly is beauty

What trick of the skin

Desire is fancy

And ruin it's whim

Your child within me

And what should I do

My blood fill with needles

That he look like you



There's no light in heaven

That my heart can see

That my heart be imprisioned

While the devil go free

My heart imprisioned

While the devil go free

No light in heaven

No light for me
