Well you know that it's true Since I coupled with you I have watched opportunity stray Some to gold some to mud I've got the road in my blood 'Cause you stole my heart away
Father hear my lament What was straight now is bent What was black is now fading to grey It's a bird it's a plane It's a fault in my brain 'Cause you stole my heart away
Well the weakness is mine It's been here for a time Keeping all of these riddles at bay If I don't have a whip I go upstairs and strip 'Cause you stole my heart away
You are hardly yet beaten my son You have still got another bullet Left in your gun
Well the garden is green It's a real gentle scene It will bring us together I pray Like a bee to a flower You'll be mine in an hour 'Cause you stole my heart away
