Lyrics

In the darkness of the shadows
In the cobwebs of her mind
She went wading through the shallows
To see what she could find
But lurking in the waters
Was a beast with ghastly claws
So I’m singing you a sonnet
To a love that never was

He was brilliant, he was bashful
He was funny, he was wise
He was thoughtful, he was gentle
He was the apple of her eyes
Then one day he took a rifle
And used it just because
Now she’s singing me a sonnet
To a love that never was

If you’re lucky you can be happy
In a world that’s free of pain
You might have a lovely family
And a life that’s right as rain
But when tomorrow brings the sorrow
That tomorrow always does
I’ll be singing you a sonnet
To a love that never was
