paroles de chanson One Night as I Lay on My Bed - Steeleye Span

One night as I lay on my bed
I dreamed about a pretty maid
Love so oppressed
I could take no rest
Love did torment me so
So away to my true love I did go

And when I came to my love's window
I boldly called her by her name
For your sweet sake
I'm come here this late
Through this bitter frost and snow
So open your window, my love, do

My mam and dad they are both awake
And they are sure for to hear us speak
There'll be no excuse
Then but sore abuse
Many a bitter word and blow
So begone from my window, my love, do

Your mam and dad they are both asleep
And they are sure not to hear us speak
They're sleeping sound
On their bed of down
And they draw they breath so low
So open your window, my love, do

My lover rose and she opened the door
And just like an angel she stood on the floor
Her eyes shone bright
Like the stars at night
No diamonds could shine so
So in with my true love I did go
