Wonder What Is Keeping My True Love Lyrics

I wonder what is keeping my true love this night
I wonder what is keeping him out of my sight
I wonder if he knows of the pain i endure
And stays from me, this night im not sure

Oh love are you calling your cause to advance
Or yet are you waiting for a far far better chance
I am coming forth to tell you i've a new love in store
I am coming forth to tell you, i love you no more.

For i can love lightly, and i can love strong
I can love the old love, till the new love comes on
I only said i loved you for to give your heart ease
Oh when im not with you, ill love whom i please

Oh theres gold in my pocket and a pain in my heart.
I cant love a man with to many sweat hearts
You're my first and only false love, but its lately i knew that the stronger i loved you, the falser it grew.

h the spring grass grows the greenest and the spring water runs clear im sorry and tormented for this love oh my dear your love it lies so lightly as the dew on the thorn
It's there in the evening and away with the dawn
It's there in the evening and away with the dawn
