Ode To A Girl

We met when hope was oh so young 
  I took you from that drunken bum 
  And held you like some father 
  And we both mourned for each other 
  Oh yes, we were so full of hope than that you see 
  You'd be a dancer, and a singer me 
  You danced your dance and my sweet song was sung 

  I was wreckless, you were free 
  I took you 'round the world with me 
  So holy together 
  No devils could tear us apart 
  The lights were bright on Portland Street 
  And with the future at our feet 
  We held onto each other 
  But somewhere lost your way 

  So long, my lover 
  It's over 

  Who was that boy that you did see 
  Did having him bring you loser to me? 
  So blindly you swung from the hook our love hung from 
  But retribution does come soon 
  Two lovers in a hotel room 
  You danced your dance, and my sweet song was sung 

  So long, my lover 
  It's over 

  Fragile wings in a silver castle 
  And love that's wrought too hard and fast 
  I guess that's how it came to be 
  My dancing girl skipped away from me 
  I was blind, I could not see 
  The mirror cracked in front of me 
  Darling girl, please understand 
  There's no blood on your pretty hands 

  So long, my lover 
  It's over
