Laura lies, sad as the laurel bush outside
First whispers reach my ear
Laura cries
All the ones who broke her heart? I say we all do, my dear
Laura lies,Come inside the house tonight
We’ll talk until the dawn.
Laura lies,How I long to make you right,
Bear your burden as my own.
Long ago, where she knew nobody
Summer smile she used to wear
Now a lower bow for the dress she put away
Never walk the grand affair, she’d say
Laura lies,Come outside the house tonight
We’ll talk until the dawn
Laura lies,How I long to make you right
Bear your burden as my own
Laura lies beside the laurel bush she whispered
Laura died long ago.
All the ones who loved her I say we all do, my dear
