YOUR LOVE'S RETURN
Gordon Lightfoot
1970


Come to the door my pretty one
Put on your rings and precious things
Hide all your tears as best you can
Try to recall what used to be.

Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall
Climbing your windows and walls
Bells in the steeple are ringing, singing
Listen to them talkin' 'bout your love's return.

Let me come in my pretty one
Try to undo what I have done
For I must be forgiven now
I cannot leave your love alone.

Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall
Climbing your windows and walls
Leaves in the garden are falling, calling
Listen to them talkin' 'bout your love's return.

Let me come in my precious one
Wake from your sleep and take me home
Open your eyes and look my way
I will not lose what I have won.

Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall
Climbing your windows and walls
Bells in the steeple are ringing, singing
Listen to them talkin' 'bout your love's return.
