William Ritter & Sarah Ogletree - Foreignlander Lyrics

I've been a foreignlander, for seven odd years or more
Amongst the brave commanders, where the wild beasts howl and roar
I've conquered all my enemies on land and on the sea
But you my dearest duel, your beauty has conquered me

I could build a ship of love, without the wood of trees
The ship would burst asunder if I proved false to thee
If ever I proved false love, the seas would rage and burn
The fires would freeze to ice love, the seas would rage and burn

Can't you hear the mourning dove, she's flying from pine to pine
Mourning for her own love, the way I mourn for mine
I lie awake out in the night, I see the shining stars
I wonder if you see them too, wherever you are

I wish I was a hummingbird, with wings I'd fly so high
I'd set my course to you love, cross any waters wide
I'd set my course to you love, cross any raging sea
Or over any mountains high between my love and me

I've been a foreignlander, for seven odd years or more
Amongst the brave commanders, where the wild beasts howl and roar
I've conquered all my enemies on land and on the sea
But you my dearest duel, your beauty has conquered me
