LIKE THE ANCIENT MARINER
Like the Ancient Mariner Like the Ancient Mariner Compelled w as he To tell his tale of woe To each and every soul Wherever he did go No other name passed his lips
But That one No other true love or care Could he bare Yet Sitting by was a gentle and kind heart Listening patiently A greater love he Could never see Nameless to everyone Unknown to all Yet Waiting to catch the other Should the other fall Until one dayThis gentle and lonely soul Heard a voice sayThere is no timeLife is running awayChoose your blissEnough you’ve doneYou will never be to the other oneMore than you are now Unwanted love dies a slow death With every breath
Of Pain So slowly did this tender heart die Indeed For the other Waiting by the other’s side In vain

Of Pain So slowly did this tender heart die Indeed For the other Waiting by the other’s side In vain
