I thought to weave for you songs,
I thought I'd weave roundelays
and though the songs came out wrong,
I still sang a song today:
it made many maidens long;
this roundelay is my lay.
And though the songs came out wrong,
I still sang a song today
although my song came out wrong;
I made it my lay this day--
it made many maidens long;
this roundelay is my lay.
Although my song came out wrong,
I made it my lay this day--
I made it sing, made it strong:
live for love, I heard it say.
It made many maidens long;
this roundelay is my lay.
I made it sing, made it strong:
live for love, I heard it say,
live for love and wreak no wrong;
I heard it but, sung its way,
it made many maidens long;
this roundelay is my lay.
