Lyrics

You do not come at daybreak
You do not come at noon
You do not come when night does fall
I hope you do come soon
I sit here with my watch and chain
I sit here with the sun
Buyt now the sun had come and gone
And still, you do not come

A bird sits on my roof top
Up there she will stay
I don't know why she sings so long
With you so long away
I fed once in the lilies
I murmured with the bees
But now I'm hungry, now I'm still
And you're not here with me

You care no longer for me
I still weep for you
I swear I'd beg King Soloman
To slice that heart in two
You could fly with your half
And I'd set that poor bird free
I'd not longer weep for you
You'd be here with me

You do not come at daybreak
You do not come at noon
You do not come when night does fall
I hope you do come soon
