Oh lady fair, your stranglin' hair |
|
Ribbons 'round my tongue |
|
I try to speak, my thoughts grow weak |
|
From all the yarns you've spun |
|
I heard them say that evil may |
|
Walk in beauty's shoes |
|
But if ever I could love myself |
|
Then I'll stop loving you |
|
Were you out the other night |
|
Flirting with all my friends? |
|
I heard you told a joke or two |
|
With my name at the end |
|
Well, come 'round home, i'm all alone |
|
And tell me that just ain't true |
|
But if ever I could love myself |
|
Then I'll stop loving you |
|
When you're gone, I'll carry on |
|
It's never meant to last |
|
I'd much prefer to sit alone |
|
And drink about the past |
|
So I say |
|
"some how, some way" |
|
Till I believe it's true |
|
But if ever I could love myself |
|
Then I'll stop loving you |
