lirik lagu flanders swann - the youth of the heart
swann: when i was a young man, i hadn’t a penny, “when shall we marry?”, my molly would say. but i was a wise man and said to my darling, “love that is true love will not fade away”.
chorus: oh, the youth of the heart, and the dew in the mornin’. you wake, and they’ve left you, without any warnin’.
i went to america looking for money, i worked all the day and i slept all alone. the sweet silver dollars i saved for my darling, to clothe her in satin and make her my own.
[chorus]
i came back to ireland, my pockets a-jingle, and the wedding bells rang as i came down the street. “oh, where is the colleen i’ve come back to marry?”, i asked the first neighbour i happened to meet.
[chorus]
“your love has grown weary of keeping her kisses, and learning a song that will never be sung. this morning, your molly has married another, a penniless man with a heart that is young”.
[chorus]
so all you young lovers all ready to marry, remember my story and mind what i say. for i was a wise man, and now i am sorry, the wisdom of winter is madness in may.
[chorus]
