I Live Not Where I Love Lyrics


Steeleye Span I Live Not Where I Love

Come all ye maids that live at a distance
Many a miles from off your swain
Come and assist me this very moment
For to pass away some time
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love
For my heart is with them all together
Though I live not where I love
When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I find no rest
For every moment thinking of you
My heart affixed in your breast
Although far distance may be assistance
From my mind his love to remove
Yet my heart is with him all together
Though I live not where I love
All the world shall be one religion
Living things shall cease to die
If ever I prove false to my jewel
Or any way my love deny
The world shall change and be most strange
If ever I my mind remove
For my heart is with him all together
Though I live not where I love

So farewell lads and farewell lasses
Now I think I've got my choice
I will away to yonder mountain
Where I think I hear his voice
And if he calls then I will follow
Though the world it is so wide
For my heart is with him all together
Thought I live not where I love

(repeat first verse)
