Elegy

Baby don't you leave me in this world alone

We'll go and see somebody who won't shake his head and moan

Doctors can do anything, it is said, today

I'll do anything, I'll even pray

But don't you leave me alone like this

I couldn't stand it without your kiss

So don't go

Don't you go

Well, there must be something that will cure you true

Is there anything I can do?

I just can't stand it without your living breath

But all that's left for us is your certain death

But baby don't you go

I couldn't face the world alone

So I'll follow you

I'll follow you

To the ends of the mountains I'll tread a path

Just to hear once more your fragrant laugh

I'll swim great rivers and I'll swim the seas

I'll do anything, anything to please

So we'll go together

And face the things to come

I'm not afraid

There, that's done
