Emmylou Harris Lover`s Return Lyrics

Lover`s Return Lyrics

And so you have come back to me and say the old loves growing yet

You've tried through all these weary years you've tried too vainly to forget

Oh no I cannot take your hand God never gives is back our youth

The loving heart you slighted then was yours my friend in perfect truth

[ mandolin ]

Come close and let me see your face your raven hair is tinged with snow

Oh yes it is the same dear face I loved so many years ago

Oh no I cannot take your hand...

[ guitar ]

Farewell I think I love you yet as friend to friend God bless you dear

And guide you through these weary years to where the skies are always clear

Oh no I cannot take your hand...

[ fiddle ]

Oh no I cannot take your hand...
