0:50By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
0:56The face of Melinda neath blackened hair
1:02No joy would flicker in her eyes
1:08Brooding sadness came to a rise
1:42Words would falter to atone
1:48Failure had passed the stepping stone
1:54She had sworn her vows to another
2:00This is when no-one will bother
2:07And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
2:12A harlot of God upon the earth
2:18Found where she sacrificed her ways
2:24That hollow love in her face
2:59Still I plotted to have her back
3:04The contentment that would fill the crack
3:10My soul released a fluttering sigh
3:17This day fell The darkness nigh
5:07I took her by the hand to say
5:12All faith forever has been washed away
5:19I returned for you in great dismay
5:25Come with me Far away to stay
5:45Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
5:51She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
5:58But baffled herself with the final line
6:05My promise is made but my heart is thine
By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair The face of Melinda neath blackened hair No joy would flicker in her eyes Brooding sadness came to a rise Words would falter to atone Failure had passed the stepping stone She had sworn her vows to another This is when no-one will bother And conceded pain in crumbling mirth A harlot of God upon the earth Found where she sacrificed her ways That hollow love in her face Still I plotted to have her back The contentment that would fill the crack My soul released a fluttering sigh This day fell The darkness nigh I took her by the hand to say All faith forever has been washed away I returned for you in great dismay Come with me Far away to stay Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme But baffled herself with the final line My promise is made but my heart is thine
