She Moved Thru' The Fair

She Moved Thru' The Fair - Marianne Faithfull

My young love said to me

My brothers won't mind

And my father won't slight you

For your lack of kind

Then she turned her face to me

And this she did say

It will not be long love

Till our wedding day

She turned away from me

And moved thru' the fair

And I watched her so swiftly move here

And move there

And she turned away homeward with one star awake

Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake

Last night

I did dream that my dead love come in

So softly she entered that her feet made no din

Then she turned her head to me and this she did say

It will not be long love

Till our wedding day
