Go From My Window - Steeleye Span

A beautiful obsession

Like a moth to a flame, he returns

The window, and the rain

Have brought him back again …

Go from my window my love, my dove

Go from my window my dear

The wind is in the West and the cuckoo’s in his nest

And you can’t have a harbouring here

Go from my window my love, my dove

Go from my window my dear

The weather it is warm, it will never do thee harm

But you can’t have a harbouring here

Go from my window my love, my dove

Go from my window my dear

The wind is blowing high and the ship is lying by

And you can’t have a harbouring here

Go from my window my love, my dove

Go from my window my dear

The window and the rain have brought him back again

But you can’t have a harbouring here

Go from my window my love, my dove

Go from my window my dear

The devil’s in the man that he will not understand

He can’t have a harbouring here
