TOTO:

Like an arrow from its quiver
Comes my love this very day.
On the ever running river
Speeds my love upon his way;
Comes to give a lover's greeting,
Comes to press me to his heart.
Those who meet with such a greeting
Surely never never part.
Over spotted meadows fleeting,
Over hill and over lea,
Flushed with joyous hope of meeting
Comes my love to marry me.
Comes my love to marry me,
Comes my love to marry me!

I the while my love awaiting,
Sit in silence prim and coy,
Yet my heart is palpitating
And I can't conceal my joy!
Though I droop my eyes demurely,
Though my hands I primly fold,
Yet my beating heart will surely
Tell the truth that they withhold.
Tell the truth that gaily fleeting
Over hill and over lea,
Flushed with joyous hope of meeting
Comes my love to marry me.
Comes my love to marry me,
Comes my love to marry me!
