Come Love Away

Brendan Taaffe <2013   Written to celebrate the wedding of Addie Rose Holland and Dan Rosenberg, this song was inspired by the melody of the traditional Macedonian song Shto Mi E Milo. Original poetry inspired by the Song of Solomon.

Come, love away, like the deer on the mountain then swift as the morning, oh come love away Come, love away, like the bee in the orchard draw from dew and nectar oh come love away Chorus: Now shall your heart beat forever with my heart Now shall your arms be forever my home Come, love away, to the shores of the river, come let the water wash all cares away Come, love away, to the trees of the forest, the lark sings so sweet at the dawn of the day Come, love, we’ll lie ‘neath the apple in blossom, the perfume of heaven, yes come love we’ll lie
