The Coral
Short Ballad
Here's a tale of my true love
Fair and free was she
Wasn't I just like tonight
She stole my liberty

Like a flower in the spring
Words don't mean a thing
Like the ocean greets the sand
Beyond my own command

But then she warned me she'd have to go
I've nothing left to show
Except the feeling and then I'll know
I've always loved her so
