1. My father asked will you break your promise?
And does the sound of my weeping please your ears?

2. You were an obsession I was madly in love with
And I wove my pride from your footsteps

3. I said the nights have saddled their moons
So I learned where my affliction lies

4. And I saw your beauty taking me captive so I feared it
And I felled it with poems of seduction
