Dear Companion by The Furrow Collective Lyrics

Once I had a dear companion;
Indeed, I thought his love my own
Until some black-eyed girl betrayed me
And now he cares no more for me

Just go and leave me if you wish to
Far from this lonely world I'll flee
For in your heart you love another
And in my grave I'd rather be

Last night you were so sweetly sleeping
Dreaming in some soft repose
While I a poor girl broken-hearted
Was listening to the wind that blows

I never did think of being without you
I never did think of you being gone
But all night long the wind keeps crying
Farewell true love, I'm left alone

Just go and leave me if you wish to
Far from this lonely world I'll flee
For in your heart you love another
And in my grave I'd rather be
