A song in three movements.

Lyrics:

there's a river flows by
down by the meadow's close
it's the stream she goes by
merrily she tiptoes
see her dainty dress blow
out the pantry window
if you see her
tell her
that her
mother
is looking
for her

who, who's looking out for her?
who, who's looking out for her?
who would think that she would thrive
in the forest
who would think that she would
fall in love

--------------

there was a stranger who came from yonder parts
and to this small isle he there returned
his hair was red like the setting sun
but in his eyes, a greater fire
burned

lye dye dye, lye di dye
lye dye dye, lye di dye
lye dye dye, lye di dye
lye dye dye, dye di dye di dadadye

he brought with him the gifts of song and rhyme
and while he stayed, i was in bliss
but when he left, my heart he took with him
and with me, he left his loneliness
his loneliness-

lye dye dye, lye di dye
lye dye dye, lye di dye
lye dye dye, lye di dye
lye dye dye, dye di dye di dadadye

10 years have passed since last i saw his face
but by my life, i'll never regret
and though the seas may keep us far away
this man of red i will never forget
never

lye dye dye, lye di dye
lye dye dye, lye di dye
lye dye dye, lye di dye
lye dye dye, dye di dye...
