She wore a scarlet letter So all could see her now The harlot of the village Her head now a bow Forbidden love It came to her Washed her like a summer spring Her smile born from happiness Until the dark was seen Her heart it loved She knew no wrong But alas it was a curse For his love was taken Already held By the woman he did marry So now she wanders so alone The cold it bites so harsh And stares they eat away In her heart She truly knows That love will find a way
