From the Hills Right to the Sea

From the Hills Right to the Sea

Grab my hand, please come with me
From the hills right to the sea
I want to go a-questing
And like to have your company

Oh take my hand and stay with me
Beside the brook, down by the leigh
You could be my gallant knight
And I will be your true lady 

Reclining back, idyllically
Aft defeating triumphantly 
False knights and wyverns too
Deflecting darkness easily 

Off of your shield, defending me
Pierce their bodies heartlessly
Sweaty, bloody, falling down
Tumbling, laughing let us be

Then let me feel your skin on mine
Trace your features warm and fine
Sleepy in a tight embrace  
And be together for a time 

Don't leave now that you had the wine
Quenched and full and bored of mine
Please face this world together only
I trusted
                  confided
                                      I'm lonely
