i thought certainly it must be
that Beatrice will die
then I, i had to close my eyes
and in the waning wind that came and went
i thought i heard it said
"thou too art dead in time
so hold your tongue all cold and come
see our lady where she lies"
when i opened my eyes i cried
"oh Beatice oh Beatrice"
that wasn't me you know when we were young
that isn't mine
i own naught before nine
except that time you cried
it is as it was was then once again
you lay and wait for god
you've built him up so much you're broke down
by the time i come around
when i opened my eyes i cried
"oh Beatice oh please will you believe in this"
