Lying there in the gloom alone

He tortured himself with doubt

Overwhelmed with a lovesick grief

He swallowed wine to numb the pain

Yet still she shuns me

Oh what have I done?

I refuse to bow out gracefully

Restless, the dream world denied

Footsteps he heard from her room

What does she seek at this time

Her pale white form fled like mist

Through the sleeping town

Yet still she shuns me

Oh what have I done?

I refuse to bow out gracefully

What little I remember

An unearthly apparition

In the graveyard she knelt in the snow

Crossed herself and prayed for it to end
