I once had a girl And Gilly was her name Our love was bigger than us So am I the one to blame
In the dead of night Where the cold fall wind does blow I built a temple for our love A retreat from all the snow
In the moonlit orchard Behind the oak where we carved our names I now lie you gently to rest So no more silly games
Strangled by the ivy My heart bleeds when I think of you I'm praying at your altar A sacrifice so blue
And now you'll find I've changed my mind Since I've blasted down the door A crypt where I carve your signature The writings on the wall
I touch your pale lips And kiss away the cold I know you're only sleeping Eternity your mould ... Your soul has been sold
You've tasted the poison apple And climbed the tree of life Where the stars smile on you My world just ends in strife
So dream on, my darling Hold my hand now in the rain It is a strange day, my love The stars don't seem the same
And now you'll find I've lost my mind I've opened up the door The temple that I built for you Will remain a temple of love forever more
I'll lie at your side Till the morning sun does rise Dissolving all those crystal tears The moonlight in your eyes
At the iron gate With the rusty key clasped in my hand I dream of you Gilly Your unspoken word is my command
And now you'll find I've lost my mind I've opened up the door The temple that I built for you Will remain a temple of love forever more
I had a girl ... And Gilly was her name ...

You're welcome.
This is a gothic ballad I wrote some time ago. It's much more down tempo than the other songs I've posted here and, like them, has already been set to music.
I'm happy to hear you liked it. Thanks.

I have to say that I believe this is your best one yet. A lot of emotion and imagery put in it along with great smoothness...

Again, thanks for your comments. I'm thrilled to hear that you find my lyrics so enjoyable - and this one in particular.
