An Honest Man

Words & Music by Folky MacFolk Face (2018)

He worked the earth, with modest hands,
Was so in love, he took the chance,
That she might care, for an honest man,
Who’d do for her, all that he can.

She’d ride down from the house on the hill,
And she would fall into his arms.
And down by the river, as they lay by the wall,
They made their promise of love.

For you…
I would walk every mountain, I would sail every ocean,
I would cross the skies above.
I am yours now forever, you must know that I’ll never,
Be without you now my love.

But a life so free, is seldom won,
She was betrothed to another’s son.
She cried “Love, please understand,
I was never free, to take your hand.”

I must leave my house on the hill,
Though I’ve prayed to the heaven’s above.
And though I’ll leave, you know that I will,
Remember our promise of love.

For you…
I would walk every mountain, I would sail every ocean,
I would cross the skies above.
I am yours now forever, you must know that I’ll never,
Forget you now my love.

Now his hands, do what they can,
But they’re the hands of an older man,
He took a chance, and though we fade,
He still recalls the promise they made.

He still goes to the house on the hill,
Though only the memories remain,
And as the sun goes down on the house on the hill,
He hears her whisper again.

For you…
I would walk every mountain, I would sail every ocean,
I would cross the skies above.
I am yours now forever, you must know that I’ll never,
Forget you now my love.

I would walk every mountain, I would sail every ocean,
I would cross the skies above.
I am yours now forever, you must know that I’ll never,
Forget you now my lov
