I Wonder What Is Keeping My True Love This Night; Kate Rusby

A song from her second album, Sleepless, 1999

Lyrics;
I wonder what is keeping my true love this night
I wonder what is keeping him out of my sight
I wonder if he knows of the pain I endure
And stays from me this night I'm not sure

Oh love are you coming your cause to advance
Or yet are you waiting for a far far better chance
Are you coming for to tell me you've a new love in store
Or are you coming for to tell me you love me no more

For I can love lightly and I can love strong
I can love the old love till the new love comes on
I only said I loved you for to give your heart ease
And when I'm not with you I'll love whom I please

There's gold in my pocket and pain in my heart
For I can't love a man with too many sweethearts
You're my first and only false love but it's lately I knew
That the stronger I loved you the falser you grew

The spring grass grows the greenest and spring water runs clear
I'm sorry and tormented for the love of my dear
Your love it lies so lightly as the dew on the thorn
That's there in the evening and away with the dawn

This song is absolutely beautiful, and now I can't stop listening to Kate Rusby! 'Unquiet Grave' is gorgeous too ;)

This music has a wonderful, timeless quality to it. Quite stunning actually!!

Her voice is absolutely melting, and when paired with the whistles, it's musical heaven! Also, this song is exactly how I'm feeling at the moment. Right on Kate.

Kate hates to fly so how lucky was I to see her in NY City in a small venue in the first row and have this song as her encore!!!! Kate had a racehorse named after her...if this version and June Tabors were in a race it would be a dead heat for the win!!!

I am American and I think Kate Rusby's music is so down to earth, refreshing, and wonderful. Causes me to miss some of the music that used to be in the USA and is gone now.

Kate should come to America and help restore music here.

I wish I could be a fickle lover. But once I make my mind up, there is no turning back. I love fiercely, like wolf, even if it is no good for me.

Oooh boy, this song tells it like it is! Fantastic. :-)
