A MINOR BALLAD
Gordon Lightfoot 1967



Beyond the wild misty mountain,
Within the valley so free
There dwells a maid
With a heart so mellow
Soft as the wind and wild as the sea
When will you love me, as I love thee.

I have no gold to give her,
Nor gowns of soft crimson hue
Nor poems of love
Nor rhymes to bring her
Into my heart so strong so true
When will you love me, as I love you.

(bridge)

Beyond the wild misty mountain,
Within the valley so free
There dwells a maid
With a heart so mellow
Soft as the wind and wild as the sea
When will you love me, as I love thee.
