Fairport Convention - Dark Eyed Molly lyrics

Deep and dark are my true love's eyes Blacker still is the winter turning As the sadness of parting proves Brighter now is the lantern burning That lightens my path to him No fiddle tune will take the air But I'll see his swift feet a-dancing And the swirl of his dark brown hair His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing As we stepped up from Banbury Fair Oh oh oh oh if my waiting prove in vain Then I'll pack and track ever take me And the long road will ease my pain No j**elled man kind would ever make me Whisper love's words again For in drink I'll seek good company My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter And I'll hear not his last sweet sigh And who's to know in the morning after How I long for his dear dark eyes How I long for his dear dark eyes How I long for his dear dark eyes
