Steeleye Span: I Live Not Where I Love

This an amazingly lovely song performed live in 1982 at the Royal Opera Theatre, Adelaide, Australia.
Maddy Prior has a lovely contralto voice and this song, quite literally, takes my breath away.
Long live Steeleye Span!

Come all you maids that live at a distance,
Many miles from off your swain,
Come and assist me this very moment
For to pass away some time.
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love,
For my heart is with him altogether,
Though I live not where I love.

When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I take no rest,
For every instant thinking on you,
My heart e'er fixed in your breast
And although far distance may be assistance
From my mind his love to remove
But my heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love

All the world shall be one religion
All living things shall cease to die
Before I prove false unto my jewel
Or any way my love deny.
The world shall change and be most strange
If ever I my mind remove
My heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love.

So farewell lads and farewell lasses
Now I think I've got my choice
I will away to yonder mountains
Where I think I hear his voice
And if he holloa I will follow
Around the world though 'tus so wide
For young Thomas he did promise
I should be his lawful bride.
