Lady Come Down ? Song from The Importance of Being Earnest

This is the song sung by the characters John and Algernon in the 2002 film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play, The Importance of Being Earnest, directed by Oliver Parker. Sorry for the poor quality. Lyrics: The western wind is blowing fair Across the dark Aegean Sea And at the secret marble stair My Tyrian galley waits for thee Come down, the purple sail is spread The watchman sleeps within the town Oh leave thy lily flowerbed Oh lady mine, come down (Chorus:) Come down Lady come down Come down Lady come down, Oh Lady come down She will not come I know her well Of lover's vows she hath no care And little good a man can tell Of one so cruel and so fair True love is but a woman's toy They never know their lover's pain And I who loved as loves a boy Must love in vain Must love in vain Come down Lady come down Come down Lady come down
