A Lunatic's Lament

If only you could see, if only you could see

You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of

If only you could see, if only you could see

Should I apologize

To such pathetic eyes

Just the sight of you has made me sick tonight (tonight)

It was your poison kiss

That turned me into this

Then again there is a chance you could be mine (tonight)

Darling will you please, take a walk with me

We can count the stars that disappear (I wish you could see)

I wish you could see, you're the only girl I've ever dreamed of

Are you satisfied?

What fate has lead me here, oh please forgive me dear

And I don't know if I can survive on my own (my own)

I could have married you, instead I buried you

Now we'll see if I can fall asleep alone (alone)

Darling will you please, take a walk with me

We can count the stars that disappear (I wish you could see)

I wish you could see, your the only girl I've ever dreamed of

Are you satisfied?

Are you satisfied, the nightmare's coming true

Are you satisfied, girl it's only you

Are you satisfied, I'm telling you the truth

Are you satisfied?

I wish you could see, your the only girl I've ever dreamed of

Darling will you please, take a walk with me

We can count the stars that disappear (I wish you could see)

I wish you could see, your the only girl I've ever dreamed of

Are you satisfied?

The depth of a man's soul

Can not be measured in a matter

Of meters and fathoms

But rather it is in my opinion

Only quantified by his proximity

To heaven and hell

It was in such a state that

I ushered myself past

The town tavern

Bursting at the seams with

The sounds of laughter

And drunken piano playing

Had it only been a different night

A different place, a different kind

Of man passing by the threshold

Of that innocent pub

The events that transpired

At that point would have

Undoubtedly been drastically different

I can only guess if anyone outside that place

Had a clue when the exclamations

Of mirth became the desperate

Screams of helpless

Begging for their very lives
