Id
M.I.K.E. vs. Andrew Bennett Lyrics

Ah me, I must mourn my true love evermore
I am deeply saddened by the loss of my true love and will mourn forever

Though coldly forsaken, it's you adore
Even though you have left me, I still love and adore you

And if you'd return then I'd make you my bride
If you were to come back to me, I would marry you

Or I'd cross the wild Atlantic to be by your side
I would do anything to be with you, even if it means crossing the ocean

On the morning we parted, how sad the farewell
The day we said goodbye was a very sad one for me

Our words, they were few, but our thoughts none could tell
We didn't have much to say, but our thoughts were deep and profound

And when lost to my vision far over the brine
When you were out of sight, across the water

I drank your success in a goblet of wine
I celebrated your success with a glass of wine

Three times have I crossed to the ship as she lay
I have gone to the ship three times while it was docked

Becalmed on the breast of the silvery bay
The ship was still and peaceful in the calm bay

And my crew are the bravest ever handled an oar
My crew is the bravest group of rowers ever assembled

And not by the tempest, they laugh at its roar
They are not afraid of storms and laugh at their loud noise

No ballroom can tempt me nor raise my despair
I am not tempted by extravagant social events and they do not affect my sadness

For there none in the dance that with you can compare
No one on the dance floor can compare to you

And to watch the young lovers as they swing 'round the floor
Watching couples dance only reminds me of the one I cannot be with

Brings tears to these eyes that may see you no more
This makes me cry because I am afraid I will never see you again

And in beauty there's none with this lady could buy
This woman is the most beautiful and no one could buy her beauty

She's as pure as the stars and the blue of the sky
She is as pure and beautiful as the elements of the night sky

She's as fair as a lily and as sweet as a rose
She is as delicate and charming as flowers

And there's nothing can tempt me, her name to disclose
I will never reveal her name; nothing can tempt me to do so

No drink will I take for to lighten my heart
I won't drink to forget my sadness

But the wildest adventures I'll take for my part
Instead, I'll embark on wild adventures to feel alive

No women on earth will I have for a bride
I won't marry anyone else

'Til I cross the wild Atlantic to be your side
Until I can be with you again, I won't marry anyone else
