Once I had a field of clover
Sweet and green reaching high
And if I had that field of clover
I would lay me down to die
But it's winter in this valley
Nothing here but miles of snow
And it's drifting like my lover
But to where nobody knows
Nothing I can do but wait
For this season to be over
For that warm and happy day
When the sun will bring the clover
Oh they say some men must wander
They are cursed to take no root
And the women fair that love them
Die before they ever bloom
Nothing I can do but ache
For this season to be over
For that bright and lovely day
When the sun will bring the clover
If my love should come back to me
Come to lay with me one spring
I'll be sleeping beneath the clover
He'll lay weeping over me
Nothing I can do but pray
For this season to be over
For that blessed peaceful day
When the sun will bring the clover
For that blessed peaceful day
When the sun
Will bring the clover
Will bring the clover
