Lyrics

Deep and dark are my true love's eyes
Blacker still is the winter's turning
As the sadness of parting proves
And brighter now is the lantern burning
That lightens my path to love

No fiddle tune will take the air
But I will see his swift feet dancing
And the swirl of his dark brown hair
His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing
As we stepped out blinkbonny fair

And if my waiting prove in vain
Then I will pack and track ever take me
The long road will ease my pain
No jewel of mankind 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
