Bob Dylan - Belle Isle Lyrics
One evening for pleasure I rambled to viewThe fair fields all aloneDown by the banks of loch eironWhere beauty and pleasure were known.I spied a fair maid at her labourWhich caused me to stay for a whileAnd I thought of a goddess to beautyBloomin bright star of bright isle.I humbled myself to her beautyFair maiden, where do you belong ?Are you from heaven descendedAbiding in cupids fair throne ? .Young man, I will tell you a secretIts true Im a maid that is poorAnd to part from my vows and my promiseIs more than my heart can endure.Therefore I remain at my serviceAnd go through all my hardship and toilAnd wait for the lad that has left meAll alone on the banks of belle isle.Young maiden I wish not to banterIts true I come here in disguiseI came here to fulfill our last promiseAnd hope to give you a surprise.Ive known youre a maid I love dearlyAnd youve been in my heart all the whileFor me there is no other damselThan my bloomin bright star of belle isle.
