Among The Oak And Ash Lyrics

Among the oak & ash there grows

A flower in the fold

And so it is like love itself

A story I've been told

Of carpenters, of kings alike

Of rich men and of poor

Some will travel this whole wide world

And seek out nothing more

If I could live a thousand years

I would not rightly know

The workings of my true loves heart

And why she had to go

I asked her parents where she was

But they just stood there cold

So without reply I turn around

And I was never told

Winter past, spring revealed

Summer at an end

A letter came to me today

Written in her hand

Goodbye dear forgive me

I cannot ask enough

I understand now every soul

Who ever died for love

I understand now every soul

Who ever died for love
