AN ARTFUL DODGER WAS SHE
Like a sad epic am I
Like a long lost tune am I
Something she couldn't understand
Like that hard question am I.
First she lavished her love on me
Said I was for her a noble prince
Then she changed her attitude
And behaved as if there was
Nothing between her and me
Ah, how she chose to ruin me
With insults hurled cruelly
While walking away from me!
Left I am like that waning moon
Floating past dim nights silently.
Ah, what a sad epic am I...
If she had a grudge in her heart
If she had sought but revenge
Why did she say that she loved me
Why did she promise joys to me
Ah, the travesty of fate
When she changed herself completely
Leaving me depressed and lonely!
Like a sad epic am I
Like a long lost tune am I
A question she couldn't understand
That difficult question am I...
She mocked my love artfully
Behaving very scornfully
What an artful dodger was she!
Like a sad epic am I
Like a long lost tune am I...
Misery loves comany but company flees misery, thus creating a vicious cycle.
