Lyrics The Locket - Maggie Reilly

The streets were crowded as they cheered the men to war
In the locket, a sadness was easy to see
In his hand a token as his love he did proclaim
See this locket closed forever till I return again
The longer you're gone, my love
The stronger my love grows for you
I know that every hour brings me closer to the day
If I live another thousand years
My love
No love could ever match this passion
My love
The winter rains could never wash these dreams away
Bad news is wings and grief she swore her heart would be
Like the locket never opened to any but he
Until the stranger she cited
He laughed and showed the key
Read the message in the locket and know that it's me
The longer you're gone, my love
The stronger my love grows for you
I know that every hour brings me closer to the day
If I live another thousand years
My love
No love could ever match this passion
My love
The winter rains could never wash these dreams away
The longer you're gone, my love
The stronger my love grows for you
I know that every hour brings me closer to the day
If I live another thousand years
My love
No love could ever match this passion
My love
The winter rains could never wash these dreams away
The longer you're gone
The longer you're gone, my love
