Nine years ago i fell in love With a lady proud and fair So pa**ionate were she & 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 & crucified And now i fear this lady fair Can never more be mine Long gone are nights in my lonely bed All suffering and crying And though i fear that thru this life She'll call me only friend 'til i'm dead and buried in my grave My love will never end
