Now my brothers made me guard their vines
To keep their little sister from running wild.
But underneath their watch I have grown fine -
Dark & deep as all the richest wines!
When the sun is up where do you rest,
For I'm going to come & find you there,
I'll not lose my way, i know the path
Down to the shade of all the shepherd's tents!
The sun has stared at me
So I am dark!
Branches that can hardly hold the weight
Fruit & Honey that you've saved
Yes, I want to see what you have made
Your garden in the shade.
The sun has stared at me
So I am dark!
