High On A Rocky Ledge - Steve Cradock

High On A Rocky Ledge - Steve Cradock
High on a rocky ledge lives a Mädel Edelweiß
Shy as a shadow lovely as lace and cold as ice
High on a rocky ledge I pledged my love to her
Ev'ry time I climb up to Paradise
How many times I've been up to see her
Goodness knows Huffing and puffing
Dressed in the warmest climbing clothes
How many chances would be
Taken in my Hopeless pursuit of the Schnee Mädel Edelweiß
Then spoke a spirit If you would win your Lady Love
There's only one way fall to your death from high above
You will begin to grow in snow beside the one
You have waited for to be mated with
Now I'm an Edel vice to my Mädel Edelweiß
Dying to be with her wasn't any sacrifice
We're so deliriously happy on your ledge
Where I pledge my love to my Lady Fair
You who are climbing breathless to see me and my love
Snow flowers growing fonder on Lover's Ledge above
If you've the yen to pluck then pluck us both
For we who have lived as one wish to die as one
