Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend A crow flew past my window sill Stole me away from you until You change your heart or change your will Aren't you darling Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend And all the while that you would burn Your tongue was working overtime Love foregone and life's so good Aren't you darling In my words I cherry picked Something fought and died today With all our words I care not say I need you darling I've been chasing up loftier mountains Be it against my will You keep telling me "don't get no higher" But I'll be higher still Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend
