The way she cried, she lost her eyes
Her lashes left her lids 
Her prideful mind, he could not find; her loving lips, he did 
Her face she pressed into his chest and told him she must go 
"It's in my mind to find a home and a husband for to know" 

The end is nigh and that is why I'm not asking you to marry me 
The tides will turn, the earth will burn, and wind and sands will bury me 

She wandered for a hundred songs along the mountainside 
And in the town she'd look around for the ladies of the night 
She'd barter false affections for food and feather bed 
She thought of her lost lover and the final words he'd said 

She learned of flesh and pleasure, her skill was widely known 
For just a pretty penny, her body you could own 
At night she sang so sweetly, the other whores to hear 
They said go to the city, lest fate imprison you here 

She was given gifts aplenty by men she did not know 
But one who'd heard her singing gave her an old banjo 
Soon she played for payment, her freedom she had found 
Not whore nor wife but mighty bard, she'd travel the world around 

She rose her song for forests, for trees to give us breath 
For whales and fish in oceans that greed would put to death 
And when the earth was whole again, she'd find the love she once knew 
And say I see the world you saved, and now I'll marry you
