So you found a new boy,
Willing to be tamed,
But he's a fool,
To love you just the same.
Near Gideion's grave,
With me we laid,
But I's a fool,
For thinking that you could,
Change from grey to green,
For a posy that's been washed up down the the stream,
Dashed upon the stones of a river so deep,
It's cutting out my heart,
Do you wanna see the scar?
So we came together,
In the garden of your rose,
Your breast exposed to the midnight snow.
No poet's lips,
Could wake you from this repose,
And try as you might to hide,
But everybody
Knows just what you are,
A liar and a thief who stole the star,
From the highest tree in a forest so dark,
It's cutting out my heart
Do you wanna see the scar
Oh no.
The scar,
Oh no no no no no.
