So as you have caught my gaze
You shall have my hand
And for all you have wanted
There is ever more
For those I have so known
These were words enough
Yet here I toil the harder stone
All for your smile again
And it would seem that you would know
The worth of man you seek
Here I see the gauntlet thrown
For the name that you would keep
My payment for this fire's hearth
And a loving glass
Though glad I drink to fill my heart
My passions burn a woeful thirst
Keep me in favor
Or lose me in kind
Until my nature be known
Name your heart as mine
Rest now my lady white
Will you wait for me?
In truth this last dance was mine
Will you wait for me?
I have seen what should be mine
All for the time I spare
I am no man of simple means
Though now I am laid bare
You know my heart as well my mind
And would have me for your own
And for that sake and in your kind
You shall not walk alone
Rest now my lady white
Will you wait for me?
In truth this last dance was mine
Will you wait for me?
A glance is as a promise to an unknowing fool
Though I have given you more
My name and lands for your smile and your bed
I'll wager you have wished before
Be as I found you, have no vows to your name
About your head a garland of thyme
We shall steal away and amidst the quaking grass
I shall know you as mine
Those who mark you with hate and earthstone
They would have had you theirs
To see you as prey for a lesser man
I would sooner you dead
For the coins that now mark you as done
Your loves shall drink their fill
Learn you well in the fullness of time
See I meant you no ill
We will dance here
We will dance
