With adieu and rue the day
And He blessed you best of all
Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
A refugee from the Seraphim
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
Your eyes seem from a different face
With your rich girl rags and all
If tears unshed could heal your heart
They've seen that much that soon
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
Did you reach too high and fall?
And there is no peace, no true release
Your cheek's too cold, too pale to shine
Watch you melt into the night
Did you reach too high and fall?
Like an old and waning moon
And He blessed you best of all
No secret place to crawl
If words unsaid could sway
