The Yeoman Of The Guard: Act One: When Maiden Loves, She Sits And Sighs lyrics

When maiden loves, she sits and sighs,
She wanders to and fro;
Unbidden teardrops fill her eyes,
And to all questions she replies,
With a sad "heigh-ho!"
'Tis but a little word, "heigh-ho!"
So soft 'tis scarcely heard, "heigh-ho!"
An idle breath-
Yet life and death
May hang upon a maid's "heigh-ho!"
An idle breath-
Yet life and death
May hang upon a maid's "heigh-ho!"

When maiden loves, she mopes apart,
As owl mopes on a tree;
Although she keenly feels the smart,
She cannot tell what ails her heart.
With its sad "Ah, me!"
'Tis but a foolish sigh - "Ah, me!"
Born but to droop and die - "Ah, me!"
Yet all the sense
Of eloquence,
Lies hidden in a maid's "Ah, me!"
Yet all the sense
Of eloquence,
Lies hidden in a maid's "Ah, me!"
"Ah, me! Ah, me!"
Yet all the sense
Of eloquence,
Lies hidden in a maid's "Ah, me!" (weeps)
