DEEP LANE

Where have you been my daughter?
Where did you go last night?
Where have you been my daughter fair
In the cold starlight?
Your hands are cold your hair is wild
And in your eye a look so dark and strange
Did you go out down the old Deep Lane?

Yes i went out walking
I went out last night
I went walking all alone
In the cold starlight
And there within the shadowed green
I met a gentleman so dark and strange
I must return to the old Deep Lane

What did you hear my daughter?
What did you hear last night?
What did you hear my daughter fair
In the cold starlight?
I heard seven ravens sing
In voices sweet as sun and summer rain
I must return to the old Deep Lane

What did you see my daughter?
What did you see last night?
What did you see my daughter fair
In the cold starlight?
I saw a shining company
Dancing to the ravens’ sweet refrain
I must return to the old Deep Lane

What happened then my daughter?
What happened then last night?
What happened then my daughter fair
In the cold starlight?
They took took me up and turned me round
Lifted me and laid me down
Enchanting me with sight and sound so strange
I must return to the old Deep Lane

How did you leave my daughter?
How did you come back home?
We feared you were forever lost
Never to return
I cannot stop cannot stay
Not even for a single day
And you must also come away
To starlight cold and lands so dark and strange
Come and walk with me down the old Deep Lane
