Pale the young squire who goes to fight
To die at his master's side
Living is just a dream inside
You ask me why he cried
(bridge)
"What am I doin' here?"
"What am I doin' here?"
(verse 2)
Beautiful princess, fair and pale
Stares out across the sea
Alone in her castle dark and grey
Her love she'll never see
(bridge)
"What am I doin' here?"
"What am I doin' here?"
(refrão)
Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Place a wooden cross at his head
All the words you can say
Have been said
It's for you my tears are shed
