SHE LEAVETH ME

she leaveth me in countless tears
surround the clouds of the night
she keepeth me in countless fears
I miss her on my side
I thought if I went to the Lord
to tie the broken strings of fallen chord
I settled my horse and made my way
the dark silent night
I smile like a cat in the dark I tried
to find the place were the lady might stay
a voice inside me reads my ear
heading home for whom who fear
lady return listen to me
I give thee all thy desires
I give thee my guzzle give thee my soul
and even give thee my life

she leaveth me in countless tears
surround the clouds of the night
she keepeth me in countless fears
I miss her on my side
I thought if I went to the Lord
to tie the broken strings of fallen chord
I settled my horse and made my way
the dark silent night
I smile like a cat in the dark I tried
to find the place were the lady might stay
a voice inside me reads my ear
heading home for whom who fear
lady return listen to me
I give thee all thy desires
I give thee my guzzle give thee my soul
and even give thee my life

oooh
