He asked my hand, he is kind enough
But I don’t want to do it ‘cause I’m not in love.
They say you grow into love like you wear a shoe
And you’re soon twenty-five, no one will want you.
Good enough for him, good enough for me,
Angel blessed us with a smile from an apple tree.
And the geese go ‘round and I look around
And I look over the fence and then to the ground.
And the geese go ‘round and I look around
But I won’t look at my neighbour, I’m afraid of what I
Found or not, didn’t look around,
But I found it without looking, what if he found out?
I meet our neighbour when he comes around
To mend a broken fence and a broken heart.
He’s a woodworker and he knows his trade
And he goes into the forest and then back again.
I tend the geese and I milk my time
And I walk into the forest when the moon is high.
And the moon goes ‘round and I walk around
And I wander off the path and I’m never found.
And the moon goes ‘round, and I walk around
And I sleepwalk in the forest and I’m never found,
And the moon goes ‘round and I walk around
And I don’t know what I’m doing in my sleep so sound.
I tried to be good but it’s not good enough
And enough is not good for my hot, hot heart.
Green is the forest with a stony path
And the river is not far and it’s deep and dark.
So build us a boat and let’s go downstream
Or I’ll jump into the river and you’ll never see me,
(Me) for you and you for me,
So build us a boat and let’s go downstream,
Build us a boat and let’s go downstream
Or I’ll jump into the river and you’ll never see me,
(Me) for you and you for me,
So build us a boat and let’s go downstream.
I’ll build us a boat and we’ll go downstream,
So don’t jump into the river.
I’ll build us a boat and we’ll go downstream,
So don’t jump into the river.
Me for you and you for me.
Me for you and you for me.
Me for you and you for me.
You build us a boat and we’ll go downstream
Or I’ll jump into the river.
