Hey, woman, I know what your eyes are telling
I know what you’ve got on your mind
Hey, lover, I don’t know who you think you’re fooling
Love’s bloody labour’s lost and you denied

Pull on me, I pray put your mind right to it
Don’t leave me so dissatisfied
Push on me, make haste now don’t keep me waiting
Love’s guilty patience be not glorified

So lonely I could not even cry
So lonely I could not even cry

Sometimes at dawn
When dew stains the lawn
And mice seek to hide
With the crumbs from the table
And the cracks in the fire
I go on and wager
My love against your life

So lonely I could not even cry
So lonely I could not even cry
