Bled Away
It bleeds, it bleeds, my heart of truest steel
Not perfect, nor beauty, but filled with zeal
Not enough, though, for my lover to find
O how in the world could I have been blind
Enough to forget all that has happened
Cause-and-effect, boots fastened with straps and
Down to the fields we go, hiking the trails
Further, further, no time for all the wails
Even though you deserted me as well
Even as the tinkling of my lone bell
Was the only thing keeping you with me
And as my hand tired, sadly, so did we
Gone were those days with yonder-arrived friends
Staying between us are the rope’s frayed ends
Heave-ho! heave-ho! You had gone from her too
But still, but still, she remembers you too
You may want me again, she gone away
But now I do not care, I bled away
It bleeds, it bleeds, my heart of truest steel
Not perfect, nor beauty, but filled with zeal
