Lyrics
In old Uttu on a fateful day

I saw her first and knew

That her fair hair would weave a snare

That I may one day rue

I saw the danger yet I walked

Along the enchanted way

And I said, ‘Let grief, be a moment brief’

At the coming of the day

In a corridor, in the winter

We tread lightly along the ledge

Of a deep ravine where can be seen

The worst of passions pledged

She loves another and I know

That she must soon away

Well I love too much and by such, by such

Is happiness thrown away

She gave me gifts of the mind

She gave me the secret sign

That’s known to all the artists who’ve known

True gods of sound and stone

With word and tint I did not stint

She gave me poems to say

With her own fair hair and her own name there

Like the lights in a darkened cave

On a quiet street where old ghosts meet

I see her walking now

Away from me so hurriedly

My reason must allow

For I have loved not as I should

A creature made of clay

When the young fool woos

One day she’ll lose her love at the dawn of day
