I see you got a ring on your finger
I see the shining stone
Gleaming in this deepest winter
Like an eternity of snow
And I remember this pasture
I saw true lovers confess
Tears are running like two rivers
Travellers in their last distress
Travellers in their last distress
And no matter where you go
No matter what you do
Keep a little bit of me in your heart
I loved you so
And I hear young women laughing
As they're driving thru warm towns
I hear them laughing one to the other
Driving with the car roof down
And they turn left at a green light
To destinations unknown
I see the rings upon their fingers
I see the shining stone
And bells upon their toes
And they shall have music
Wherever they go
And no matter where you go
No matter what you do
Keep a little bit of me in your heart
I loved you so
I loved you so
And I hear the big wheels turning
I hear a little voice in space
I see men counting out money
In the crowded market place
And I hear ancient women singing
In the outer Hebrides
Songs of work and love and ocean
Down the salted centuries
Down the salted centuries
And there's a wild man at the station
On the high snowbound plain
And he stands alone in silence
Waiting for the morning train
And I remember this pasture
In a summer afternoon haze
Confessions of true love
The promise of that very day
The promise of that very day
Surely some healing is at hand
The very motion of that land
And no matter where you go
No matter what you do
Keep a little bit of me in your heart
I loved you so
I loved you so
How I fish I could fly
Where no one sees me
Behind the ray of light
Leaving no trace
But you Let the light encircle you
That's the one happiness
Learn from a star the meaning of light
If it's a ray, if it's light
That's only because
The whisper and chatter of lovers
Strengthen and warm it
And I want to tell yo
That I'm whispering
I'm giving you to the ray
Little one, in whispers
