The Meadow

Ooh
Ooh

Ooh, I wanna settle down south in the spring
Make a bed in the meadow and lay till I dream
Until I dream

I see your white house far from the road
In a place where the forest grows
I stand alone when you come outside
I see your face for the first time

And I knew that I would find
I knew that I would find you, my dear
All the roads that I have walked and walked
And now you're standing here
And I will never let you go

Oh, I remember when we ran off young
Your daddy said no, but we were in love
And there you stood in the church house, dressed in white
With dark braided hair, my beautiful bride

And I knew that I would find
I knew that I would find you, my dear
All the roads that I have walked and walked
And now you're standing here
And I will never let you go
No, I will never let you go

Well, I loved you till I grew old and died
And I woke up in the meadow to my surprise
It was then I knew I could never go back
It was then that I knew that you were real in a dream
That couldn't last, no

Ooh
And I don't want to let you gow
No, I don't want to let you go
But I will have to let you go
But I will have to let go
