Wedding Song
music by Wesley York  
Text adapted from the Song of Solomon
with additional text adapted from Michael Jeffries

My lover spoke to me and said,
Come away -
Come, my love, my fair one come away.
For now cold winter’s past, the breeze is warm;
Rain is over, all the clouds are gone.  

The grass is green, the flowers appear,
Come away -
Blossoms from the trees fall in the air.
The time for singing songs has now begun.
Set me as a seal upon your heart.  

I’ve tried to memorize
My life before we met,
Before your love had taught me joy.
This way I’ll always know
Just how you changed the time.
I’ll think of spring, your name will sing in my mind.  

The vines are fragrant with their fruit,
Come away.
Come, my love my fair one come away.
The fig tree bears its green and tender figs.
Now set me as a seal upon your heart.
Oh come away, come away.
