Gordon Lightfoot
A Minor Ballad
[Verse 1]
Beyond the wild misty mountain
Within the valley so free
There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow
Soft as the wind and wild as the sea
When will you love me as I love thee?
[Verse 2]
I have no gold to give her
Nor gowns of soft crimson hue
Nor poems of love nor rhymes to bring her
Into my heart so strong so true
When will you love me as I love you?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Beyond the wild misty mountain
Within the valley so free
There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow
Soft as the wind and wild as the sea
When will you love me as I love thee?
