lyrics

Frail and sombre lover
Why must you displease
Your love was like the fire
Now it’s taunted by the breeze

Frightening fickle forest
I planted all your seeds
But you spat me out when strange birds
Came to nest amongst your leaves

I had my heart set on you…

Tiny little critters
Feeding from my hand
Your affection is superficial
But your loyalty is grand

Solid like the fortress
That was built out of dismay
You will stand transfixed before me
Beaten at your game

I had my heart set on you…
