Fair And Tender Ladies — текст песни (Manhattan Transfer)

Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you board young men
They`re like a star on summer mornin`
They`ll thirst a fear and then they`re gone

They`ll tell to you some lovin` story
And they make you think that they love you well
Then away they`ll go and court some other
And leave you there in grief to dwell

I wish I was on some tall mountain
Where the ivy rocks are black as ink
I`d write a letter to my lost true lover
Whose cheeks are like the mornin` pink

For love is handsome, love is charming
And love is pretty while it`s new
But love grows cold as love grows old
And fades away like the mornin` dew
And fades away like the mornin` dew
And fades away like the mornin` dew
