the black and bitter night - peter bellamy lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it is cold, sad, and lonely in this dismal cell
no solace comes up with the day
my heart knows an anguish that no tongue can tell
since they’ve taken my true love away

[chorus]
oh, the black and bitter night
and oh, the weary day
my love has been sn*tched far, far from my sight
and the transports will bear her away
[verse 2]
when first in this prison so deep was my pain
then she came and she banished dismay
but now in despondence i’m drowning again
for they’ve taken my true love away

[chorus]
oh, the black and bitter night
and oh, the weary day
my love has been sn*tchеd far, far from my sight
and the transports will bear her away

[verse 3]
though surroundеd by horrors yet we found delight
for where love is, no sorrow can stay
but misery and squalor swim back to my sight
now they’ve taken my true love away

[chorus]
oh, the black and bitter night
and oh, the weary day
my love has been sn*tched far, far from my sight
and the transports will bear her away

[verse 4]
why, the grasses still grow and the streams still down flow
and the blackbird still sings on the spray
but in dank, deary dungeons there’s nothing but woe
since they’ve taken my true love away
[chorus]
oh, the black and bitter night
and oh, the weary day
my love has been sn*tched far, far from my sight
and the transports will bear her away

[verse 5]
well, if i were a seagull, i’d fly to her side
and it’s there that i wish i could stay
but soon the cruel prison ships leave with the tide
and they’ve bearing my true love away

[chorus]
oh, the black and bitter night
and oh, the weary day
my love has been sn*tched far, far from my sight
and the transports will bear her away

[verse 6]
if i were a herring i’d wait by the slip
though i waited a year and a day
then through the wide ocean i’d follow the ship
that is bearing my true love away

[chorus]
oh, the black and bitter night
and oh, the weary day
my love has been sn*tched far, far from my sight
and the transports will bear her away
[verse 7]
so lovers, cling fast to each pleasure you find
and cherish each moment of play
for all you will have is what stays in your mind
once they’ve taken my true love away

[chorus]
oh, the black and bitter night
and oh, the weary day
my love has been sn*tched far, far from my sight
and the transports will bear her away
