Ballade At Thirty-Five Lyrics

Wearing shower bouquets of rue
Walk I ever in penitenceOft I roam, as my heart repents
Through God's acres of memory
Marking stones in my reverence
I loved them 'til they loved meI loved them 'til they loved me

Ever a prey to coincidenceAlways knew I the consequence

Always saw what the end would be
We're as nature has made us hence
I loved them 'til they loved meI loved them 'til they loved me
I loved them 'til they loved mePrinces, never I'd give offense
Won't you think of me tenderly?
You're my strength and my weakness, gentsThis, no song of ingenue
This, no ballad of innocence
This, the rhyme of a lady who
