The Dreamer and the Widow Lyrics

A widow was walking all by the millstream
A young man he saw her and started to dream
He dreamed of her beauty, he dreamed of her love
And he had a thought, he had a thought
He had a thought how to have her

He's crept up beside her and softly he said
Come lie down beside me and don't be afraid
I'll love you and please you and be your tonight
And drive out all cares, and drive out all cares
And drive out all carеs 'til the morning

"No, no", said the widow, she stood in surprisе
But his words they had warmed her and brightened her eyes
His dream pressed around them, he kissed her awhile
And then they lay down, and then they lay down
And then they lay down in the evening

In the cooler light of morning, he woke from the dream
He saw the sad widow in her weeds, dark and mean
His fickle love vanished in the blink of an eye
And he's wandered away, he's wandered away
He's wandered away to some other

So come all you women that hunger for love
Don't listen to dreamers, for sadly it's true
That dreams are as nothing, they fade with the dawn
And can't be recalled, and can't be recalled
And can't be recalled in the morning
And can't be recalled in the morning
