lyrics

I walked a while upon the land
I tilled the earth at my command
But I fed my hunger with an empty hand
Love, oh love, comfort me

I walked a while beside the sea
I asked the siren to rescue me
I waved to her but she did not see
Love, oh love, comfort me

La la la la la la laa
La la la la la la laa la la
La la la la la la laa la la
La la la la

I cannot speak of right or wrong
I sought the light, the light was gone
I found the words but I lost the song
Love, oh love, comfort me

I called it low, the deal was high
I drew the well, the well was dry
I learnt the how, I forgot the why
Love, oh love, comfort me

La la la la la la laa
La la la la la la laa la la
La la la la la la laa la la
La la la la

That old axe fell, my life was changed
That great gold sea came into range
Oh I walked a road so sad and strange
Love, oh love, comfort me.

La la la la la la laa
La la la la la la laa la la
La la la la la la laa la la
