“A Mad Girl’s Love Song” plays in May

Words of how she longed and pined

Melody within my mind

Listen close, for you I pray

You’re everything in life but mine

Weathers never how they seem

Come she will? I’m frozen cold

You think of me a wretch I’m told

I cry and for your eyes I dream

Your lawless heart I long to hold

There’s a glimmer in your eye

“And this, my dear, is love,” he said

The man of whom your thoughts were bred

I fall for you, alone, I die

I made you up inside my head

Don’t you ever dream of me?

I dream of you—of course I do

A piece of you, it lives within

Me, she never did love you

I know that, do you?

I’m waltzing in blue

You’ve driven me insane
