Night Visitors Song by Empty Hats Lyrics

I must away lads, I can no longer tarry
This evening's tempest I have to cross
I will be guided without a starlight
Into the arms I love the best

I walked up to her bedroom window
I leaned my back there against a stone
I whispered softly into her window
"My darlin' lassie do you lie alone?"

She raised her head from her snow white pillow
And with her arm raised across her breast
Said, "Who is there at my bedroom window
Disturbing me from my long night's rest?"

I said "My true love, it is your own true lover
Open the door now and let me in
For I have traveled a long long journey
And I am drench-ed to the skin."

She opened the door then without a murmur
Opened the door then, and let me in
We gently kissed and embraced each other
And in the morning we lay as one
The day was dawning, the cocks were calling
The birds were whistling in every tree
Farewell my true love, for I must leave you
Now that the long night has turned to day

I must away love, I can no longer tarry
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I will be guided without a starlight
Now that the long night has turned to day

I must away love, I can no longer tarry
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I will be guided without a starlight
Now that the long night has turned to day
Now that the long night has turned to day
Now that the long night has turned to day
