lyrics

Lord, get thee to a nunnery
Oh, feel your love I cannot hold
Things I wanna say
But the words that I play with
They've all grown so cold

By the banks and dressed in flowers
Your heart so young and tenderly
Said baby, I could hold you
Lord, I could shine for you
So young and free

In crowded towns, I tried to love you
Oh, feel your love I cannot hold
The streets and the light dear
Became my nightmare
In love, I grew cold

And as we slept my heart grew heavy
The things I could not ever say
The words that I play with
The all grew sedated
My heart could not stay

But I'll be there Dear Agnes
In the river cold
Crowned in crimson roses
Never to see the age of old

And in the night I had decided
For my own love, lord, I must flee
For love and for roses
I took the road
Lord, set you free

In lonesome seas I slew my demons
Oh, feel your love revealed itself
I took to the dark
I removed my heart
Lord, cried for help

Well, I'll be there Dear Agnes
In the river cold
Crowned in crimson roses
Never to see the age of old
