1. If you could see me and my love when
He bolted like a gazelle before me

2. And raced ahead as I gave chase behind
You'd see we'd spanned the land completely

3. He said, will you not turn from me? I said, no way
He said, what is it you want of me? I said, anything

4. Then he shied away, blushing from me in shame
And distraction took him from me, not to me

5. I almost kissed him openly among the people
Oh, if only I'd done what was incumbent upon me
