| I married my wife on the day of the eclipse |
| Our friends awarded her courage with gifts |
| Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts |
| I look to my sorrowful wife |
| Who is quietly tending her flowers |
| Who is quietly tending her … |
| The water is high on the beckoning river |
| I made her a promise I could not deliver |
| And the cry of the birds sends a terrible shiver |
| Through me and my sorrowful wife |
| Who is shifting the furniture around |
| Who is shifting the furniture around |
| Now we sit beneath the knotted Yew |
| And the bluebells bob around our shoes |
| The task of remembering the telltale clues |
| Goes to my lovely, my sorrowful wife |
| Who is counting the days on her fingers |
| Who is counting the days on her … |
| Come on and help me babe |
| Come on now |
| Help me babe |
| I was blind |
| The grass here grows long and high |
| Twists right up to the sky |
| White clouds roll on by Come on now and help me babe |
| I was blind |
| I was a fool babe |
| I was blind |
| Come on now |
| A loose wind last night blew down |
| Black trees bent to the ground |
| Their blossoms made such a sound |
| That I could not hear myself think babe |
| Come on now |
| And help me babe |
| Help me now |
| I was blind |
| I was a fool |
