How Do You Tell a Woman You’re in Love with Her? lyrics

Out of the rain, I came a-wandering
Out of the rain, I swayed
I was wet. I was filled with sorrow
From the love that I left in the glade

She said to me, “Sweep me away and marry me.”
Thought to myself, “I will.”
But when I came a-knocking on her front door
She said, “I'm in love still.”

How do you tell a woman you're in love with her
When she's in love with a different man?
How do you listen when she touts her loneliness
And won't accept your hand

My mouth was dry as I listened to her story
And we strolled through the hillside gate
She said her love was in love with another girl
And my angel would wait

I tried to tell her, “Why wait for another man
When I'm in love with you?
Take my hand and I will marry you
She sent me from her view
