A Lover's Soliloquy

from Blood for Ghosts by Duke Special

/

lyrics

The time I’ve lost in wooing,
In watching and pursuing
The light that lies in woman’s eyes
Has been my heart’s undoing,
My heart’s undoing.
Tho’ wisdom oft hath sought me,
I scorn’d the love she brought me
My only books were woman’s looks
And folly’s all they’ve taught me
And folly’s all they’ve taught me
Her smile when Beauty granted
I hung with gaze enchanted
Like him the Sprite, who maids by night
Oft meet in glen that’s haunted,
In glen that’s haunted
Like him too Beauty won me
Just while her eyes were on me
If once their ray was turn’d away
O! Winds!
