oh the day was dyin'
first time I saw her
her black hair shinin' as she passed me by
and I smiled down on her
I see her sorrow
in one brief moment as she met my eye
and her step it faltered
she almost stumbled
then proudly turned and she walked away
and I heard she's taken
by her father promised
even should she wished no gentile may
though I know she's taken
someday I'll have her
as sure as Summer must turn and die
for now I've seen her
I can't forget her
that long haired lady with the sad dark eyes
and her father's wealthy
he has many mansions
built a wall around her no man can climb
but I've seen her fire
her dark eyes told me
I will touch her body I will make her mine
I don't care for diamonds
don't care for jewels
trade them all for that lady's sigh
I would touch her waking
I would watch her sleeping
that long haired lady with the sad dark eyes
