As The Day Grows Longer Now - Bert Jansch

Oh, when will you be free

My pretty little girl

To come and go with me As the day grows longer now

See the bird upon the branch

See the leaves upon the trail

Would you let me show you how

My pretty little girl

Till the moon shines above

But as the day grows longer

Where are you now?

I don’t want to take you far

My pretty little girl

Still i wonder where you are

As the day grows longer now

And the evening birds still sing

Summer heals the winters scars

Would you let me show you how

My pretty little girl

Till the moon shines above

But as the day grows longer

Where are you now?

Oh, but don’t you hear the summer calls

My pretty little girl

Don’t you see at all

As the day grows longer now

Now there’s quiet moon and trees

Where the shadows gently fall

Would you let me show you how

My pretty little girl

Till the moon shines above

But as the day grows longer

Where are you now?

Oh, when will you be free

My pretty little girl

To come and go with me As the day grows longer now

See the bird upon the branch

See the leaves upon the trail

Won’t you let me show you how

My pretty little girl

Till the moon shines above

But as the day grows longer

Where are you now?
