You Stole My Heart Away

Well you know that it's true

Since I coupled with you

I have watched opportunity stray

Some to gold some to mud

I've got the road in my blood

'Cause you stole my heart away



Father hear my lament

What was straight now is bent

What was black is now fading to grey

It's a bird it's a plane

It's a fault in my brain

'Cause you stole my heart away



Well the weakness is mine

It's been here for a time

Keeping all of these riddles at bay

If I don't have a whip

I go upstairs and strip

'Cause you stole my heart away



You are hardly yet beaten my son

You have still got another bullet

Left in your gun



Well the garden is green

It's a real gentle scene

It will bring us together I pray

Like a bee to a flower

You'll be mine in an hour

'Cause you stole my heart away
