"...and she was beautiful" lyrics

A tailor and his wife
Lost the thirst he had for life
Lost in endless strife
Now he's waiting, always waiting for lavender

I had it all set
A perfect wife, my family
One kiss would lift me from misery
'Til the man in black came to say
I need not her love, as he cast me away

I want to see her eyes, but the color's fading
He tried to end my life, with my patience waning
I tried to find myself
In solitude, with fortitude
I've carved in the stone, here lies Arthur Rose
The path that I chose

Blood is glistening, is someone listening?
Is someone watching my mind unwind memory?
Blood is glistening, is someone listening?
Someone notice the man that has killed me
Someone notice the man that has killed me

I see her dress like it's burned in my skull
She lightened my heart so dull
...and she was beautiful

A tailor and his wife
Lost the thirst he had for life
And lost in endless strife
Now he's waiting, always waiting for lavender

Just like the blackness grows, like a love that's dying
He lets his anger show and with a claw of odium
He took my love from me

With a vision of evil fantasies
I think she has lost and succumbed, oh, my agony

A tailor and his wife
Lost the thirst he had for life
And lost in endless strife
Now he's waiting, always waiting for lavender

A tailor and his wife
(A tailor and his wife)
Lost the thirst he had for life
(Lost the thirst he had for life)
And lost in endless strife
(I see her dress like it's burned in my skull)
Now he's waiting
(She lightened my heart so dull)
(...and she was beautiful)
