My beloved I have waited so long How can it be daylight keeps us apart Make me assured it is you
Oh my princess your eyes shine so bright For your love I will give up my life
Be aware of my father the king If he sees us he will surely lock me in the tower
Whistle our tune at the feet of the tower
Then I shall let out my hair it will light up the night so you'll find your way
He stayed with his princess all through the night
Evil tongues came from far their minds filled with envy The princess with the golden hair shall not see her beloved again
The king sentenced the young knight to death blind for his daughters prayers
When the third day came to an end She drove a dagger through her ancient heart More from Kari Rueslatten
