Olenka And The Autumn Lovers - Louise Of Littleville lyrics

Tragedy befell Louise of Littleville Her lover died of suicide And yet she carried on As brave as any mouse could be The suitors came from far and wide And each declared a blazing love that would abide But sweet Louise, she cried and a**erted stubbornly I will not wear a bu*tercup for you I will not dine on wine and cheese with you I will not share my life With any other love He worked his tiny hands unto the bone He died despairing, wretched, and alone I will not rouse my heart till we reunite above Poor Louise's family They shook their headed and pleaded ceaselessly Oh daughter, there is so much more to see In this fascinating world Your nest is derelict and disarrayed Alone you sit in darkness every day It breaks our hearts to see your sadness, silly girl You didn't care when he was still alive You didn't care to help us grow and thrive You didn't care, you calmly left it up to fate We worked our weary hands unto the bone We tried, he broke, he died, I'm left alone You didn't care and now it simply is too late Oh, my love, I'm sorry, sorry Oh, my love, come save me, save me Oh, my love, forgive my weakness Oh, my god, it's hopeless, hopeless
