I fell in love with the midnight wind
That howled mornfully across the hills.
She swept down, circling, and took my heart
But when morning came, she left me chilled.

I turned my affections to the wild mustang
That pranced around the rolling plains
With a scoffing snort he bolted away.
Leaving me only dust and pain.

I fell for a mermaid at the beach
She beckoned me close, dragging me down
Pulling me greedily to her side
She had her way, and let me drown.

I met a gypsy while on the road.
He stole my heart and also my purse.
We walked hand in hand for a spell
But when he left, he left me cursed.

Despairing I sought the love of a witch
For my wits were frayed and shot.
She took one look and nodded her head
Before trying to add me to her ***.

I soon met a maid while at the fair.
Her love for me was young and eager.
But a week from the wedding she had enough
and traded vows with scarlet fever.

Despairing now, I boarded a ship
intending to court the mighty sea.
With a giant wave she slapped me away.
Shattering the last of my sanity.

I should have learned my lesson by now.
I should never want to love again.
Every attempt has been brutally dashed.
But I fear this passion will be my end...
