Why is it that every time I come in search for you, I find you alone on the floor Turning black and blue? Tell me, what does he do to you Behind these tightly closed doors? Or why you no longer dance with me Because your body is always sore. You and I, my darling, were happy Before he ever walked in. We'd dance barefoot in the fields, Married to the earth and wind. But when you told me that he loved you I believed you and set you free. I'd always hoped you'd find someone Much worthier than me. But sweetheart, why so many tears? You wear long sleeves more and more. What happened to the lovely summer dresses That once upon a time you wore? And why, sweetpea, is he never home When I come visit during the day? And why is it always night That you choose to run away? Run away again tonite. Come knocking on my door. I will let you in; I swear That you will hurt no more.
