As the Day Grows Longer Now
by Bert Jansch

Oh when will you be free
My pretty little girl
To come and go with me
As the day grows longer now
See the bird upon the branch
See the leaves upon the tree
Won’t you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
To the moon the sun shall bow
But as the day grows longer where are you now.

I don’t want to take you far
My pretty little girl
Still I wonder where you are
As the day grows longer now
And the evening birds still sing
Summer heals the winter scars
Won’t you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
To the moon the sun shall bow
But as the day grows longer where… are you now.

Oh don’t you hear the Summer call
My pretty little girl
Don’t you see it all
As the day grows longer now
Now it’s quiet among the trees
Where the shadows gently fall
Won’t you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
To the moon the sun shall bow
But as the day grows longer where… are you now.

Oh when will you be free
My pretty little girl
To come and go with me
As the day grows longer now
See the bird upon the branch
See the leaves upon the tree
Won’t you let me show you how
My pretty little girl
To the moon the sun shall bow
But as the day grows longer where, oh where are you now
