On the first night of your journey In the chapel where you prayed Asking holy mother Mary Why they're giving you away You belong to me I've been waiting for you, baby Since the day that you were born And though it's bad to be the only Mary helps you carry on You, you belong to me Ermesinde No one ever let you in A woman of the world, but then Your tender skin, oh, Ermesinde Tourmaline Can't be found in Oesling They'll tell you this But don't give in, oh, Ermesinde On the first day of your journey Coming out from your bell jar And the road goes on forever We wanna stay the way we are Ermesinde (And the road goes on forever) No one ever let you in A woman of the world, but then (We wanna stay the way we are) Your tender skin, oh, Ermesinde Tourmaline (And the road goes on forever) Can't be found in Oesling They'll tell you this (We wanna stay the way we are) But don't give in, oh, Ermesinde
