Woe-Begotten Songs

When she thinks of him
And the things he would do
She gets confused
About her repute
And now they’re apart
By a thousand miles
She’s losing the lineament
Of his smile
But she holds on strong
To how he would long
And she writes it all down
In her woe-begotten songs
When he thinks of her
And that kiss he stole
And how their lips would glow
Hot as a seraph’s live coal
And now they’re apart
By many years
Time won’t ameliorate
He holds on strong
And tries not to long
When listen too
Her woe-begotten songs
