I've been sleeping far to long 
My bodies waking with a song 
It's late October and the leaves blanket the ground 
And I see people hurry past
They chase the sun that's fading fast
It's late November and the cold is rolling round 

My dear beloved 
When [bad word] I'll know just what to do 
My dear beloved 
When [bad word] I know all I'll need is you 

I've no regrets I have no fear
In the knowledge the you're always near 
My darling we could while away the hours
With stories of our future plans  
Of cottages down by the sand 
Of children and a home that we've made ours

My dear beloved 
When [bad word] I'll know just what to do 
My dear beloved 
When [bad word] I know all I'll need is you 

My dear beloved etc

When winter winds are blowing fast 
You'll give me your coat in exchange for my heart
heart that's stayed hidden away for years 
We'll warm up by the fire side 
The place where first I called you mine 
And you promised there'd be no more need for tears 

My dear beloved 
When [bad word] I'll know just what to do 
My dear beloved 
When [bad word] I know all I'll need is you
