Ian HP Lyr Add: I Wandered by a Brookside (22) Lyr Add: I WANDERED BY A BROOKSIDE 22 Aug 98


I WANDERED BY A BROOKSIDE
Traditional

1. I wandered by a brookside, I wandered by a mill,
I could not hear the water, the murmuring it was still,
Not the sound of any grasshopper nor the song of any bird
For the beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard
The beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard

2. I sat beneath the elm tree and watched his long, long shade
And as it grew the longer I did not feel afraid
I listened for a footfall, I listened for a word
But the beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard
The beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard.

3. With silent tears fast flowing then someone stood behind,
A hand upon my shoulder, I knew the touch was kind,
She drew me near and nearer, we neither spoke one word
For the beating of our own two hearts was the only sound I heard
The beating of our own two hearts was the only sound I heard


Recorded by Archie Fisher, Whippersnapper, and others.
