Текст песни
Pressed my hands beneath a dark veil
Why so pale are you today?
Because I filled him with sorrow
Drunk him on my bitter dismay
How could I forget? He staggered out
Mouth twisted in a painful rout
I fled, not touching the rail, no doubt
Chased him to the gates, no shout
Breathless, I cried: It was all a joke
You leave — and I’ll die, I’m broke
He smiled — so calm, so choke
And said: Don’t stand there in the smoke
Pressed my hands beneath a dark veil
Why so pale are you today?
Because I filled him with sorrow
Drunk him on my bitter dismay
How could I forget? He staggered out
Mouth twisted in a painful rout
I fled, not touching the rail, no doubt
Chased him to the gates, no shout
Breathless, I cried: It was all a joke
You leave — and I’ll die, I’m broke
He smiled — so calm, so choke
And said: Don’t stand there in the smoke
Pressed my hands beneath a dark veil
Why so pale are you today?
Because I filled him with sorrow
Drunk him on my bitter dismay
He smiled — so calm, so choke
And said: Don’t stand there in the smoke
