Go away my lover, darling won't you go
Leave me to my tower, leave me all alone
Go away my lover, cut these tethers free
Leave me to my island of pine and evergreen

Go away my lover, darling won't you go
Leave me to my tower, leave me here alone
I'll cast you from my kingdom; I'll cast you from my throne
Go away my lover, stop bothering me so

I will give you back your letters and your precious golden rings
I will lay them on your pillow when you're good and fast asleep
You can blame it one the devil; you can blame it on yourself
But please go away my lover
Please go find someone else

Go away my lover, darling won't you go
Leave me to my tower, leave me all alone
Go away my lover, cut these tethers free
Leave me to my island of pine and evergreen

I see your shadow at my window
(I see your shadow at my window)
I feel your spirit in my bed
(I feel your spirit in my bed)
It seems the more that I remember
(It seems the more that I remember)
The more I'm dying to forget
(The more I'm dying to forget)

Oh I will give you one last kiss
If it will put your heart to rest
Go away, my lover
I think that would be best
Go away, my lover
And put your heart to rest
Go away, my lover
I think that would be best
Go away, my lover
And put your heart to rest
