So Long, My Lover

We met when hope was oh so young

I took you from that drunken bum

And held you like some father

And we both mourned for each other

Oh yes we were so full or hope than that you see

You'd be a dancer, and a singer me

You danced your dance and my sweet song was sung

I was wreckless, you were free

I took you round the world with me

So holy together

No devils could tear us apart

The lights were bright on Portland Street

And with the future at our feet

we held onto each other

But somewhere lost your way

So long,my lover

It's over

So long, my lover

It's over

So long, my lover

It's over

Who was that boy that you did see

Did having him bring you closer to me?

so blindly you swung from the hook our love hung from

But retribution does come soon

two lovers in a hotel room

You danced your dance and my sweet song was sung

So long, my lover

It's over

So long, my lover

It's over

So long, my lover

It's over

Fragile wings

In a silver castle

And love that's wrought

Too hard and fast

I guess that's how it came to be

My dancing girl skipped away from me

I was blind i could not see

The mirror cracked in front of me

Darling girl please understand

There's no blood on your pretty hands

So long, my lover

It's over

So long, my lover

It's over

So long, my lover

So long, my lover

It's over

So long, my lover

It's over

So long, my lover

It's over
