Dark and fair were the curls in your hair They were dark and fair when I moved to place just under there Where I’d play and I’d kiss that every day ‘til I can’t last
In the deep blue pools they were practically jewels And I slipped down the face but I found my favourite place And I searched and explored, found a freckle at the door So I went inside, I went there many times Oh, I would have liked to stay but there was more I had to see, more I had to see that day
So I hopped and I skipped and I left you with a kiss ‘til I came to a place that was just too good to miss And, oh it was as pure as snow, the beauty of this sea you’ll never know
Then I climbed and I climbed and I left that place behind And the mountains it seemed, I had never seen no beautiful a thing And I slipped down those hills, may have left them with the chill But a field had I found with a small hole in the ground And I danced up and down I was twirling all around Then I did see all those days of beauty stretched in front of me I would have liked to stay but there was more I had to see, more I had to see that day
I walked past a place, one I cannot say But when you’re mine, girl I’ll take the journey anytime Girl I’ll take the journey anytime.
