As The Day Grows Longer Now Songtext
von Bert Jansch

Oh, when will you be free
My pretty little girl
To come and go with me

As the day grows longer now
See the bird upon the branch
See the leaves upon the trail

Would you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
Till the moon shines above

But as the day grows longer
Where are you now?

I don′t want to take you far
My pretty little girl
Still i wonder where you are

As the day grows longer now
And the evening birds still sing
Summer heals the winters scars


Would you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
Till the moon shines above

But as the day grows longer
Where are you now?

Oh, but don't you hear the summer calls
My pretty little girl
Don′t you see at all

As the day grows longer now
Now there's quiet moon and trees
Where the shadows gently fall

Would you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
Till the moon shines above

But as the day grows longer
Where are you now?

Oh, when will you be free
My pretty little girl
To come and go with me

As the day grows longer now
See the bird upon the branch
See the leaves upon the trail


Won't you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
Till the moon shines above

But as the day grows longer
Where are you now?
