Intro :
D eep and dark are my true love's eyes
Blacker still is the wi nter's tur ning
A s the sadness of partin g pro ves
A nd brighter now is the lante rn burni ng
T hat lightens my path to l ove
N o fiddle tune will take the air
But I will see his swift fe et danc ing
An d the swirl of his dar k bro wn hair
H is smiling face and his dar k eyes glancin g
A s we stepped out Blinkb onny Fai r
A nd if my waiting prove in vain
Then I will pack and track ev er t ake me
T he long road will ease my pai n
N o jewel of man kind would ev er make m e
W hisper love's wo rds agai n
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
H ow I long for his d ear da rk ey es
H ow I long for his d ear da rk ey es
H ow I long for his d ear da rk ey es
