Bert Jansch As The Day Grows Longer Now
Oh, when will you be free
My pretty little girl
To come and go with me
As the day grows longer now
See the bird upon the branch
See the leaves upon the trail
Would you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
Till the moon shines above
But as the day grows longer
Where are you now
I don't want to take you far
My pretty little girl
Still I wonder where you are
As the day grows longer now
And the evening birds still sing
Summer heals the winters scars
Would you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
Till the moon shines above
But as the day grows longer
Where are you now
Oh, but don't you hear the summer call
My pretty little girl
Don't you see at all
As the day grows longer now
Now there's quiet among the trees
Where the shadows gently fall
Would you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
Till the moon shines above
But as the day grows longer
Where are you now
Oh, when will you be free
My pretty little girl
To come and go with me
As the day grows longer now
See the bird upon the branch
See the leaves upon the trail
And won't you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
Till the moon shines above
But as the day grows longer
Where, oh where are you now
