Long years ago i fell in love
with a lady proud and fair
so passionate were 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 took delight
in making my love cry
now i'd pray for a single kiss from her
to be lashed and crucified
And now i feel 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
'till i'm dead and buried in my grave
my love will never end
