I loved you as I never loved before When first time I met you on the village green Come to me all my dream of love is gold I loved you as I loved you when you were sweet When you were sweet sixteen
I once had a lover so green were her eyes We met in the morning we've carded all sighs We've broken the evening with fingers and lies I once had a lover so green were her eyes
I once had a garden where she came to stay We kissed under poplar trees all through the day Then she wanted to leave said she came just to say My garden was empty
I once had a lover so green were her eyes She broke all my fingers and laughed at my sighs She wanted to see but I wanted if ice I once had a lover so green were her eyes
I once had a lover with hair black as coal But I wanted to bleed her and murder her soul I wanted to bury her deep in the hole made for two For I wanted my lover to love me like you
I once had a lover so green were her eyes She kicked me and bold me but I She left me in sleep pillow woke up to fight I've got as empty my love has those eyes
