Lyrics

Long years ago I fell in love with a lady proud and fair So passionate we're 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 found delight in making my love cry Now I'd pray for a single kiss from her To be lashed and crucified And now I fear 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 'Til I'm dead and buried in my grave, my love will never end
