CORRECT LYRICS

Lyrics : Agony

Did I abuse her or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her, how shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?
Agony, beyond power of speech
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach

High in her tower, she sits by the hour
Maintaining her hair
Blithe and becoming, and frequently humming
A lighthearted air… A-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah…
Agony, far more painful than yours
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors

Agony, oh the torture they teach

What's as intriguing—

Or half so fatiguing—
As what's out of rеach?

Am I not sensitive, clevеr, well-mannered, considerate
Pa**ionate, charming, as kind as I'm handsome
And heir to a throne?

You are everything maidens could wish for

Then why no?

Do I know?

The girl must be mad

You know nothing of madness
'Til you're climbing her hair, and you see her
Up there, as you're nearing her
All the while hearing her "A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah"
Agony

Misery

Woe

Though it's different for each

Always ten steps behind—

Always ten feet below—

And she's just out of reach
Agony that can cut like a knife
I must have her to wife
