The Night Visit Songtext
von Kate Rusby

I must away love, no longer tarry
This roaring tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a stumble
Unto the arms I love the best
Unto the arms I love the best

And when he came up to his true love′s dwelling
He's knelt down gently upon the stone
And through the window he′s whispered softly
Is my true lover within at home
Is my true lover within at home


She's raised her up from off her pillow
She's raised her up from off her bed
And through the window she′s whispered softly
Who′s that disturb'th my own night′s rest
Who's that disturb′th my own night's rest

Wake up, wake up now, it′s your own true lover
Wake up, wake up now, and let me in
Oh how the wind blows and how it thunders
And I am wet love unto the skin
Oh I am wet love unto the skin

She's raised her up from off her pillow
She's raised her up and through the door
And they were locked in each other′s arms
Until the long night was passed and o′er
Until the long night was passed and o'er


And when the long night was passed and over
And when the dawn clouds they did divide
He′s leaned down gently and kissed her softly
He's saddled up and away did ride
He′s saddled up and away did ride
