Cold mountains they are here around me Cold waters gliding down the stream Oh in my sleep I think I've found him But when I wake it's just a dream True when I wake and cannot find him Along my bed a weeping morn Just like the raindrops without numberin' It's all because I'm left alone It's all because I'm left alone I hate the time when I must leave you I hate the time when we must part
And though I've loved you without measure Give me my hand and you'll have my heart I'll come back home and we'll get married I'll take you to the wedding bed And you can love with me til morning Upon my breast you lay your head Cold mountains they are here around me Cold waters gliding down the stream Oh in my sleep I think I've found him, But when I wake it's just a dream
