I Am Sad - Kate Rusby

The summertime is full of flowers

And the gardens are all gay

They drink the sunshine and the showers

And laugh the hours away

The trees are clad in robes of green

And the birds among them sing

But I am sad and can't be glad

For my joy has ta'en the wing

Oh I am sad and can't be glad

For my joy has ta'en the wing

I used to love the summertime

I used to love the spring

But now my love has proved untrue

No joy to me they bring

It seems as if the wintertime

Has passed all o're the year

It's very cold within my heart

And it's dark without my dear

It's very cold within my heart

And it's dark without my dear

Oh heart of mine with blighted love

What power thy life can save

I'm like a yew tree dark and sad

Beside a lonesome grave

My love I'll call both loud and long

And in my tears I'll cry

I know he'll never love me more

So loveless must I die

I know he'll never love me more

So loveless must I die
