Hold my head up, spin me round.
Hold my head up, spin me round.
Fill my head with silence,
Till I'm over you and gone.
There's no ending now you're here,
Take me far away from me.
Fill my head with silence,
Till I'm over you and gone.
So what if my heart won't wait,
What if tonight I stayed?
Oh, what if I stayed here?
What if your arms would hold me for life?
What if you didn't need me?
Oh, what if I stayed here?
Hold my head up, spin me round.
Hold me up until I'm found.
And fill my head with silence,
Till I'm over you again.
So what if tonight I sailed away,
What if I gave my life away,
And what if I stumbled home.
Oh, what if I stayed here?
What if my life came thumbling down,
And what if you didn't see me?
So what if I stayed here....Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Without no seams nor needle work,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.
Washes the grave with silvery tears.
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
Tell her to find me an acre of land:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
General order their soldiers to kill.
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
