Dark and fair were the curls in your hair They were dark and fair when i moved to place just under there Where i'd play and i'd kiss that every day âtil i can't last
In the deep blue pools they were practically jewels And i slipped down the face but i found my favourite place And i searched and explored, found a freckle at the door So i went inside, i went there many times Oh, i would have liked to stay but there was more i had to see, more i had to see that day
So i hopped and i skipped and i left you with a kiss âtil i came to a place that was just too good to miss And, oh it was as pure as snow the beauty of this sea you'll never know
Then i climbed and i climbed and i left that place behind And the mountains it seemed i had never seen no beautiful a thing And i slipped down those hills may have left them with the chill But a field had i found with a small hole in the ground And i danced up and down i was twirling all around Then i did see all those days of beauty stretched in front of me I would have liked to stay but there was more i had to see, more i had to see that day
I walked past a place, one i cannot say But when you're mine, girl i'll take the journey anytime Girl i'll take the journey anytime
