It was once written that love will return Will you not come back home? I'm waiting for you in the meadow As I have always done Oh, sweet rosemary I was your only man All of these years you ran to me Who will now take my hand? They say a raven came to your bed As you lay in your dreams Whispering things of such earthly delight Stealing my sweetheart from me Oh, sweet rosemary I was your only man All of these years you ran to me Who will now take my hand? The raven stole my love from me He took her in his wings I'll take my sling and shoot him down Until his black heart bleeds The raven stole my love from me He took her in his wings I'll take my sling and shoot him down Until his black heart bleeds
