A man I met in my youthnCame to me in the light of truthnA beautiful dream that wasnTill he died one rainy fallnThere I was a child bridenWidowed at ninteen, defiednNever would I let him gonGo to the place that heaven knowsnnOn the evening of his deathnMy shoulders felt a brushing breathnCold were his hands on my breastnThe man that I loved and put to restnHe came to me and held me closenWe danced til dawn in the early snownThere I felt him cry and crynni'll never leave, leave your sidennOh the madnessnThis town thinks I'm madnSixty years, has it been a dreamnThis man I'm haunted by, I seennI'm eighty years and on my bednAwaiting death, that final breathnHe sits by and looks to men"soon you will come and be with me"nNow I feel all warm insidenAs I leave this mortal body behindnSeems it is eternal's waynWe're waltzing into heaven's gate n
