Pease excuse my excitement when I say I've met a girl Whose face is sweet But not sweet For to say it is sweet is to say it is bitter And to say it is bitter is to say it is tasteless And regardless she is not from here, and does not understand the language And I could teach her But I won't For to teach her is to know her, Put sounds and noises to a face that is more than sweet, A story, a sadness, a soul like my own To destroy the perfect beauty, withheld from the unknown
