I Followed Her into the West歌词

[1:17]I followed her into the west,
[1:22]Where I had never been before;
[1:27]And never did she see me as,
[1:33]I stood there helpless by the door.
[1:40]Each day my resolution rose,
[1:45]And every day an oath I swore;
[1:50]Tonight I'd stand and be a man,
[1:56]Tonight I'd knock upon her door.
[2:03]and shifted pressed cleaned dressed,
[2:08]I set out my quest once more;
[2:14]But each night ended as the rest,
[2:20]I could not knock upon her door.
[2:40]I paced my room and I cursed myself,
[2:45]I swallowed that I would go no more;
[2:50]as the sun was sinking low,
[2:55]I heard a knocking out my door.
[3:01]And standing there with food for me,
[3:05]standing there my heart's delight;
[3:11]Who said, "I thought you must be ill,
[3:17]I missed you at my door tonight."
[3:34]"Now you must eat and you must sleep, “
[3:39]Your resolution to restore;
[3:44]And when these dishes you return,
[3:50]Be sure to knock upon my door."
