Say no word,
she watched as she waited
By the iron gate, veiled in black brocade,
Tom was all alone.
She spoke soft but breathless,
he took the half a crown,
and thought how strange.
Long ago she knew a man
Who sailed the seas and gave
her a daughter
Through the vanished years,
fate bestowed a lady's seat
She honored it with grace,
hid the past and with it me
And now she is everything to me
Though I was denied her tenderness
Years went in blue
I cried in my room
I believed I'd been
quite deserted
But now that I find
She gave everything to me
Until it became quite impossible
Scorn upon scandal
Helpless to handle
She's bitterly break
ing down
Why is my dream un disturbed?
We pitched as we tossed,
from cobblestone to track
Along the old canal
Fierce came the frost
The stone changed to pasture
Could anyone survive?
Has anybody seen?
Long ago a fox found out
They laid the captain dead at
his masthead
Searching everywhere,
questioning the wind and trees
I beat the empty air,
knowing it has seen her face
And now, I give everything to know
Why my flesh and blood must suffer so
Turning and toss ing,
from river to crossing
Causing great confu sion
If she only knew,
she was everything to me
Alone now somewhere
she's imploring me
Oh please forgive me
I've been so thought less,
she's bitterly breaking now
Oh, she is everything to me
Though I was denied her tenderness
Years spinning blue,
I cried in my room
I believed I'd been
quite deser ted
But now that I fight
She gave everything to me
Until it became quite impossible
Scorn a fun scandal
Helpless to handle
I pray we are right tonight
Fleek rose the towers
Rain lashed the horses
We found the gate ajar
A cloak laid adeep
The captain's fooled his sails
He comes as no surprise
She's no longer here
You
