The Night Visiting Song

The Night Visiting Song - Luke Kelly

I must away now I can no longer tarry

This morning's tempest I have to 'cross

I must be guided without a stumble

Into the arms I love the most

And when he came to his true love's dwelling

He knelt down gently upon a stone

And through her window his whispered lowly

Is my true lover within at home

Wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover

Wake up wake up love and let me in

For I am tired love and oh so weary

And more than near drenched to the skin

She's raised her up her down soft pillow

She's raised her up and she's let him in

And they were locked in each other's arms

Untill that long night was past and gone

And when that long night was passed and over

And when the small clouds began to grow

He's taken her hand and then they kissed ands parted

Then he saddled and mounted and away did go

I must away now I can no longer tarry

This morning's tempest I have to 'cross

I must be guided without a stumble

Into the arms I love the most
