all things are quite silent - steeleye span lyrics
williams-traditional
all things are quite silent, each mortal at rest,
when me and my true love got snug in one nest,
when a bold set of ruffians broke into our cave,
and they forced my dear jewel to plough the salt wave.
i begged hard for my darling as i would for my life.
they’d not listen to me although a fond wife,
saying: “the king must have sailors, to the seas he must go,”
and they’ve left me lamenting in sorrow and woe.
through green fields and meadows we ofttimes have walked,
and the fond recollections together have talked,
where the lark and the blackbird so sweetly did sing,
and the lovely thrushes’ voices made the valleys to ring.
now although i’m forsaken i won’t be be cast down.
who knows but my true love some day may return?
and will make me amends for all trouble and strife,
and me and my true love might live happy for life.
