Heaven help the soul who hopes to hold her
For her heart is a rebellious bird
Her love is paradise till the dream is over
Your eyes grow fonder as her touch grows colder
On your knees, you beg for every silken word
Heaven help the soul who hopes to hold her
You seek her attention, but she likes them older
Rich and infirm as she prefers
Her love is paradise till the dream is over
Her left hand bears a silver lock
But heed no logic, for your heart is stirred
Heaven help the soul who hopes to hold her
On you she turns her snakelike shoulder
Scream till dawn, but your pleas go unheard
Her love is paradise till the dream is over
Her left hand bears a silver lock
Still your heart cries, undeterred
Heaven help the soul who hopes to hold her
Her love is paradise, but now your dream is over
