Written by Isobel Campbell
Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend
A crow flew past my window sill Stole me away from you until You change your heart or change your will You're untrue darling
Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend
And all the while that you would burn Your tongue was working overtime Love foregone and life's so good You're untrue darling
In my words I cherry picked Something fought and died today With all our words I care not say I need you darling
I've been chasing up loftier mountains Be it against my will You keep telling me "don't get no higher" But I'll be higher still
Where have you been, my darling Where have you been, my friend
