|
Long years ago I fell in love |
|
With a lady proud and fair |
|
So passionate were she and I |
|
We made fire in the air |
|
I loved her more than life itself |
|
She loved me just the same |
|
And it broke my heart |
|
To think we'd part if she ended the affair |
|
But I was brutal, I was ignorant |
|
I was cruel, I was brash |
|
I never gave a damn about |
|
The beauty that I smashed |
|
No sadist I, I took delight |
|
In making my love cry |
|
Now I'd pray for a single kiss from her |
|
To be lashed and crucified |
|
And now I feel this lady fair |
|
Can never more be mine |
|
Long gone are night in my lonely bed |
|
All suffering and crying |
|
And though I fear that through this life |
|
She'll only call me friend |
|
'Till I'm dead and buried in my grave |
|
My love will never end |
