No you don't want me to be there...
To kiss your eyes, cares your hair.. Or kill that pain away..
As pain is my companion, solitude my guide, your sweet affection solely
offers me a threat I cannot abide...
Cursed be this love I bear
Bereaved be this heart that bleeds for her
The love of the man lives hereÂ…
-On grain and the earth, rain and the chilling air
Only a child, reckless and wild, needs to come
home again. He promised the moon but won't marry you.
Nothing to do, eating for two, he's goin' out with
someone new. Sunshine or rain, it's all the same, life isn't gray
oh Mary-Lou.
