Enough Rope/Light of Love
Light of Love
JOY stayed with me a night—
Young and free and fair—
And in the morning light
He left me there.
Young and free and fair—
And in the morning light
He left me there.
Then Sorrow came to stay,
And lay upon my breast;
He walked with me in the day,
And knew me best.
And lay upon my breast;
He walked with me in the day,
And knew me best.
I’ll never be a bride,
Nor yet celibate,
So I’m living now with Pride—
A cold bedmate.
Nor yet celibate,
So I’m living now with Pride—
A cold bedmate.
He must not hear nor see,
Nor could he forgive
That Sorrow still visits me
Each day I live.
Nor could he forgive
That Sorrow still visits me
Each day I live.
