Lyrics
I met my love by the Lammermuirs at the dawning of the day
She gaily laid her hand in mine as we went upon our way
Leaves of brown they tumbled down, for the autumn had begun
I loved her as the trees love wind
and the morning loves the rising sun
Far across the shining ocean
Where the restless winds do run
I will roam till I grow weary
Learn to love the rising sun
By Leith Water in the glistening air, we went where the snow lay deep
Through afternoons when the dark came soon, our shining vigils keep
On frosty days we went our ways and we watched the seasons run
I held her through the Winter's night
and I told her, love's the rising sun
Far across the shining ocean
Where the restless winds do run
I will roam till I grow weary
Learn to love the rising sun
The world awoke at the breath of spring and it brought the warming air
But as I turned to face the light, a cold wind blew my hair
She told me gently, now's the time that's fixed for her to go
I loved her as the night loves dark,
and the bare trees love the covering snow
Far across the shining ocean
Where the restless winds do run
I will roam till I grow weary
Learn to love the rising sun
