Intro :  
 
 
T  his no song of inge  nue
T  his no ballad of in  nocence
T  his the rhyme of a l  ady who
F  ollowed ever the   natural bents
T  his a Solo of sa  pience
T  his a chantey of so  phistry
T  his the sum of expe  riments
I   loved them until   they loved   me
I loved them until the  y loved me
I   loved them until they   loved me                     
 
 
D  ecked in garments of s  able hue
D  aubed with ashes of myr  iad Lents
W  earing shower bou  quets of rue
W  alk I ever in pe  nitence
O  ft I roam as my he  art repents
T  hrough God's acre of mem  ory
M  arking stones in my reve  rence
I   loved them until   they loved   me
I loved them until the  y loved me
I   loved them until they   loved me                     
 
 
Pictures p  ass me in   long review -
Marching c  olumns of d  ead ev  ents
I was t  ender and of  ten true
Ever a p  rey to coinci  dence
A  lways knew I the co  nsequence
A  lways saw what the en  d would be
W  e're as Nature has ma  de us -- hence
I   loved them until   they loved   me
I loved them until the  y loved me
I   loved them until they   loved me                     
 
 
P  rinces never I'd gi  ve offense
W  on't you think of me te  nderly
H  ere's my strength and my we  akness gents
T  his no song of inge  nue
T  his no ballad of in  nocence
T  his the rhyme of a l  ady who
