Vestige of Your Smile |
||
| 1 | I broke my heart | |
| 2 | On a vestige of your smile | |
| 3 | I happened upon | |
| 4 | In the wee hours today. | |
| 5 | Tore me apart | |
| 6 | And I stood there for a while | |
| 7 | Thinking: you | |
| 8 | Are long gone - | |
| 9 | Let it go | |
| 10 | And be done; | |
| 11 | But I claimed it anyway. | |
| 12 | You'd said, "You belong - | |
| 13 | "You belong to me," | |
| 14 | And you held me so strong | |
| 15 | How else could it be? | |
| 16 | Alas, Cupid's dart | |
| 17 | Will bear no denial | |
| 18 | When your fey | |
| 19 | Geist does come | |
| 20 | In the grey | |
| 21 | Mist before dawn - | |
| 22 | Thirty pieces for your pay. | |
| 23 | You said, "I belong - | |
| 24 | "I belong to you." | |
| 25 | You held me so strong | |
| 26 | What else could I do? | |
| 27 | Right from the start | |
| 28 | You held me in your spell. | |
| 29 | Should let it go | |
| 30 | And be done. | |
| 31 | I should be so, | |
| 32 | So long gone; | |
| 33 |
But I always choose to stay. |
