Description
I always imagined the woman that this song is about to have commited suicide, or to have had an accident in a river, I don't know why. So this is my tribute to that idea (and playing about with my new software!!). The idea was that the mourner would be singing at the finding of the girl, hence the water in the background. The tubular bells stood in for the church bells that would ring at her funeral. If that makes any sense... anyway, see what you think!

Lyrics
My young love said to me, "My brothers won't mind,
And my parents won't slight you for your lack of kind."
Then she stepped away from me, and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."
She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair,
And fondly I watched her go here and go there,
Then dshe went her way homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
The people were saying no two were e'er wed
But one had a sorrow that never was said,
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
and that was the last that I saw of my dear.
I dreamt it last night that my young love came in,
so softly she entered, her feet made no din;
she came close beside me, and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."
And my parents won't slight you for your lack of kind."
Then she stepped away from me, and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."
She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair,
And fondly I watched her go here and go there,
Then dshe went her way homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
The people were saying no two were e'er wed
But one had a sorrow that never was said,
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
and that was the last that I saw of my dear.
I dreamt it last night that my young love came in,
so softly she entered, her feet made no din;
she came close beside me, and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."

The delicacy of your voice suits the song very well. I rather
like the simplicity, with the bells and echo and the water.
