I was a broken prisoner
Hurt too many times
My heart was lost in the endless tears
Held back by others crimes
This could have been the reason
I jumped so at the chance
To heal my soul and fix my pride
With another sweet romance
My knight came on a blackened steed
Appeared he were the one
With lips he felt and with hands he spoke
Of the courtship he had won
The days of June were sunny
And they led onto July
Soon August came and August went
To recall the months gone by...
He chased me in the summer fields
And kissed me by the moon
But his grace was pure while the rhythm soft
So I danced on to that tune
Perhaps I gave too quickly
To let him take me yonder
But whatever the way whatever the cause
His eyes began to wonder
At first for just an instant
And then a longing stare
Hed turn from me and gaze at her
Without a shame or care
But still he saw my pining
And unlike a monster said
That he loved me so, and did no wrong
To make me smile instead
But the words he spoke were nothing
From a man who all but failed
For him I tried; made a happy face
But behind closed doors I wailed
On till finally I knew it
Id lose him to her will
So the shock that came on the next cold words
Would not so surely kill
Sweet pollen grazed his forehead
He bent and said alas
He could not stay; his duty called
But he cherished all the passed
And yet his words were mocking
They aimed to hit; to scorn
He did not go for valiant things
But for what he found adorn
So again I was in b o n d a ge
Led away to d e a t h
Money and riches could save me not
Only the sound of his breath
Like a man condemned to to t o r t u r e
Id pace, and cry and see
The g irl he sought; the gi rl he loved
As once he did with me
And I readied for the coming
My ex ecution set
And like I had done so many times before
I went, weighed by regret
And so the tale there ended
Cut short, I wouldnt cry
For the one person I thought would save me
That just left me there to d i e
