Against the Wind Lyrics

If you were a minstrel
You'd sing me six lovesongs
To tell the hole world of
The love that we share

If you were a merchant
You'd bring me six diamonds
And six blood-red roses
For your love to wear

But you are a simple man
A poor common farmer
I'll take your six ribbons
To tie back my hair

Yellow and brown, blue as the sky,
Red as my blood, green as your eyes

If I were a minstrel
I'd sing you six lovesongs
To tell the hole world of
The love that we share

If I were a merchant
I'd bring you six diamonds
With six blood-red roses
For my love to wear

But I am a simple man
A poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons
To tie back your hair

Yellow and brown (yellow and brown), blue as the sky (blue as the sky),
Red as my blood, green as your eyes

So i'm not afraid my love
You're never the lone love
And I wear your six ribbons
To tie back my (your) hair

Oh, but I am a simple man
A poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons
To tie back your hair

Torelee, torely (?)
All we can share
Is only six ribbons
To tie back your (my) hair

Torelee, torely (?)
All we can share
Is only six ribbons
To tie back your (my) hair
