Lyrics

[00:08.98] I am a poor wayfaring stranger
[00:15.97]
[00:18.77] Traveling through all these highs and lows
[00:28.28]
[00:29.34] I heard there was no sickness
[00:33.29]
[00:33.87] And no toil or danger
[00:38.79]
[00:39.37] Just mercy and plenty
[00:44.56] Where peaceful waters flow
[00:47.23] Where peaceful waters flow
[00:54.60]
[01:06.18] Come all you fair and tender school girls
[01:15.14]
[01:16.78] Be careful now when you court young men
[01:26.69]
[01:27.59] They are like the stars
[01:32.06] On a summer morning
[01:37.23]
[01:38.02] They sparkle up the night
[01:42.27]
[01:43.50] And they’re gone again
[01:45.18]
[01:45.72] Daybreak gone again
[01:55.99]
[02:04.74] If I’d only seen through the silky veils of ardor
[02:16.33]
[02:17.18] What a killing crime this love can be
[02:24.37]
[02:25.59] I would have locked up my heart
[02:29.76]
[02:30.71] In a golden sheath of armor
[02:35.78] And kept its crazy beating
[02:40.54]
[02:41.44] Under strictest secrecy
[02:43.77]
[02:44.36] High security
[02:53.81]
[03:03.30] I wish I had the wings
[03:06.91]
[03:07.76] Of Noah’s pretty little white dove
[03:13.41] So I could fly this raging river
[03:19.17]
[03:20.83] To reach the one I love
[03:24.34]
[03:24.86] But I have no wings
[03:28.63]
[03:29.22] And the water is so wide
[03:33.58]
[03:35.29] We’ll have to row a little harder
[03:37.71]
[03:40.53] It’s just in dreams we fly
[03:42.45]
[03:43.19] In my dreams we fly
