lyrics

They go together
As lovers should
And take of their love
In the shade of the wood

It is not ugly
Nor is it unclean
To lie in the shadow
Unknown & unseen

Never a sorrow
Was born of two
Couched in the shadow
The whole night through

If only lovers
Walked in the lane
No one would suffer
Or sorrow again

But a step before them
And a step behind
Are people possessed
Of a very small mind

Who nod & whisper
And poison the bread
Of innocent lovers
Until they are dead
