Shulamite Girl ft. The Shulamite Girl of the Bible Lyrics

In fields of lilies, where vineyards entwine, I saw a beauty so rare and divine

Her hair like raven's wing, her eyes like the dawn

My heart was captured, my soul was drawn

Oh Shulamite girl, with your sun-kissed skin, your voice like a songbird

Where do I begin to tell of your beauty, your spirit so free

Come with me, my darling, to my kingdom by the sea

I'll shower you with jewels and robes of fine thread, a palace of gold where you'll rest your head

My love will surround you like a gentle embrace

Forget your simple life in this glorious place

Your palace walls may glitter, your gardens may bloom, but my heart finds solace in my shepherd's room

My love is not for riches nor for worldly gain

I'll stay with my shepherd where true love will remain

I'll shower you with jewels and robes of fine thread, a palace of gold where you'll rest your head

My love will surround you like a gentle embrace

Forget your simple life in this glorious place

Don't you see my power, the wealth at my hand

I can give you anything in this promised land

Forget your shepherd, he's nothing to me

Your beauty deserves more than a life so humble, you see

I'll shower you with jewels and robes of fine thread, a palace of gold where you'll rest your head

My love will surround you like a gentle embrace

Forget your simple life in this glorious place

Oh Shulamite girl, why do you turn away

My heart aches for you with each passing day

Though you spurn my riches and my kingly desire, my love for you burns with an eternal fire

Oh Shulamite girl, why do you turn away
