Absconding - Daughter Darling

In the visions of the dark night

I have dreamed of joy departed

But a waking dream of life and light

Hath left me broken hearted

There it goes away it goes

In the night it slips away

There I leave all that I loathe

Escape before the day breaks the day breaks

That holy dream that holy dream

While the world were all chiding

Cheered me as a lovely beam lovely beam

A lonely spirit guiding

Spirit guiding

Spirit guiding

There it goes away it goes

In the night it slips away

There I leave all that I loathe

Escape before the day breaks the day the day breaks

There it goes

There it goes

There it goes

There it goes

There it goes

There it goes
