oliver young - michael and the myriad lyrics

Loading...

outside the meadows a moon hanging high
a light in the distance, had caught my eye
on my approach i hear rhythms of drums
guitars and fiddles, a fine looking pub

i sat myself down next a stern looking man
i ordered my whiskey he’d shaken my hand
i’m mere p-ssing through, have you got the time
to shed me some wisdom, on this here night?

he hadn’t told her he’s going away
got drunk as a river, & begged him to stay
that ring on her finger made him turn and run
he waved like the ocean, oliver young

he told me of holly a fine looking maid
her father had forced her to marry away
a family of honor, a house on a hill
while i’m just a farmer with dirt in my nails

so i had to ask him, “how far have you run?”
“for thousands of miles, with only my gun”
a hand on my shoulder, a drink in his hand
“i’ll keep on running, till i turn to sand”

he hadn’t told her he’s going away
got drunk as a river, & begged him to stay
that ring on her finger made him turn and run
he waved like the ocean, oliver young

far away he ran, with fear in his heart
i swear that love won’t tear you apart
he said with a smile, a slur on his tongue
“i’m going to find her, while i’m still young”

he hadn’t told her he’s going away
got drunk as a river, & begged him to stay
that ring on her finger made him turn and run
he waved like the ocean, oliver young
