Lyrics
Long years ago I fell in love with a lady proud and fair
So passionate we're she and I, we made fire in the air
I loved her more than life itself, she loved me just the same
And it broke my heart to think we'd part if she ended the affair
But I was brutal, I was ignorant, I was cruel, I was brash
I never gave a damn about the beauty that I smashed
No sadist I, I found delight in making my love cry
Now I'd pray for a single kiss from her
To be lashed and crucified
And now I fear this lady fair can never more be mine
Long gone are night in my lonely bed, all suffering and crying
And though I fear that through this life she'll only call me friend
'Til I'm dead and buried in my grave, my love will never end
Writer(s): Shane Patrick Lysaght Mac-gowan
