| [00:11.09] |
She would dance like a firefly |
| [00:16.64] |
Like she was floating through the air |
| [00:22.03] |
A shining star in an endless sky |
| [00:27.78] |
She could sparkle anywhere |
| [00:33.57] |
And the young men came from far and near |
| [00:38.65] |
To offer flowers each in his turn |
| [00:44.27] |
And they would promise their undying devotion |
| [00:49.90] |
For her love in return |
| [01:01.05] |
And the first who stood before her |
| [01:06.38] |
Was a builder by his trade |
| [01:11.63] |
His back was strang his hands were gentle |
| [01:17.68] |
And he showed her the things he'd made |
| [01:23.25] |
I will build you a house in the valley |
| [01:28.44] |
Where the stream runs swiftly by |
| [01:34.13] |
And on the banks of the sweet primroses |
| [01:39.69] |
You and I will lie |
| [01:48.07] |
The next to make his declaration |
| [01:53.38] |
Was a young man of high renown |
| [01:58.75] |
Standing keen in expectation |
| [02:04.88] |
He would not be outdone |
| [02:10.13] |
I will give you gold and riches |
| [02:15.31] |
A diamond ring for your fair hand |
| [02:21.06] |
Every wish you crave will be granted |
| [02:26.81] |
And I will be at your command |
| [03:00.64] |
A wandering minstrel on his travels |
| [03:05.89] |
Chanced to pass along her way |
| [03:11.20] |
He sang her songs of sweet affection |
| [03:16.95] |
And with his charms he held her sway |
| [03:22.83] |
I have no house to offer you |
| [03:28.12] |
Nor money have I none |
| [03:33.58] |
But I will be your poetry |
| [03:39.45] |
And you will be my song |
| [03:47.25] |
And so it came they took a winding road |
| [03:52.42] |
And cast their cares upon the wind |
| [03:58.16] |
To see the days and sing the seasons |
| [04:03.73] |
And never asking what lay beyond |
| [04:09.80][05:21.99] |
Her jewels were the words he sang for her |
| [04:15.26][05:27.47] |
Her house a broad oak tree |
| [04:20.83] |
Her joy was but a simple dream |
| [04:26.45] |
That flowers when it's free |
| [04:59.81] |
And she can dance like a firefly |
| [05:05.55] |
And she's floating throught the air |
| [05:10.43] |
A shinning star in an endless sky |
| [05:16.05] |
She can sparkle anywhere |
| [05:32.66] |
Her joy is but a simple dream |
| [05:38.60] |
That flowers now it's free |
