Capercaillie When You Return Lyrics

When You Return Lyrics

When you return they'll see

 My words are true 

 

 I went to the hazelwood yesterday

 Seeking hazelnuts for food

 But on every branch and twig

 Was your pursuing face

 I went to bed early last night

 To escape you in sleep

 But you kept me awake till

 I'd make you a song 

 

 When you return they'll see

 My words are true 

 

 I'd wish we were torn asunder

 Were we not apart

 Let your presence replace my image of you

 And how I'd rejoice

 You've brought me to foolish babbling

 Tiring friends with praise of you

 When you return they'll see that

 My words are true 

 

 When you return they'll see

 My words are true

 They'll see mountains dance with ripples

 Mole and eagle step the reel

 Red rasp held by kind sea-tangle

 Sport before their eyes

 My words are true

 When you return, etc. to fade out
