Just a lover's quarrel, that's what it seemed to be
I was such a fool, to let you walk out on me
All your friends and relations, say it's just a lover's tiff
But I have this awful feeling, something is amiss
I've tried hard to find you, God knows it's true
I feel so ill my darling, what has become of you?

You know how much I love you, more than life itself
But I am scared and lonely, like your teddy on a shelf
I can't go on my darling, I need you here with me
By my side for all time, like you said it would be
When our banns were read, I was filled with pride
You standing beside me, soon to be my bride

But now my life is shattered, a message I've received
They found your lovely body half hidden by leaves
The beast that killed you was very drunk, they say
And that the law will deal with them, in their own way
I don't believe it happened, it surely can't be true
I feel this rage inside me, for who would hurt you?

What am I doing here, holding my darling's hand?
It feels so very cold, I just don't understand
Why are you sleeping in that funny looking bed
Oh God, I can hardly see for this pain inside my head
Hands are pulling me and someone is screaming
They have put me in this white room, but I am only dreaming

They don't know my darling, that you are here with me
In their white coats they enter, I laugh for they can't see
I love it when they go, for then I hold you tight
Now we are always together, each day and every night
