Thompson Richard Linda First Light Died For Love John Gumblain, Annie Painter They were true lovers to the end They grew up together In the streets where no one is your friend They mixed their hearts' blood together They swore they'd always be true When Annie left for the summer She said "For now, but never adieu" "I'd give my life to be with you" Some will die for fortune, some will die for pleasure But only lovers died for love The summer turned into winter But Annie Painter never came Cold wind blew through the dark town And it chilled the heart of John Gumblain He took the road to every city He sailed to every port of call He hung his head as tears were falling He scratched his message on the wall "I'd give my life to be with you" Some will die for fortune, some will die for pleasure But only lovers died for love He was broken, he was . . . His face was old and cracked with tears He was dying of disease That shook his frame for thirteen years As he lay sickening by the roadside A voice came drifting through the air It was the voice of Annie Painter She sang a song ?three times clear? "I'd give my life to be with you" Some will die for fortune, some will die for pleasure But only lovers died for love He went running through the city He searched for day after day When he found her, she was dying And all for love of John Gumblain She said "Forgive my cruel father He tried to keep me away And don't despair for my dying For this is our wedding day" "I'd give my life to be with you" Some will die for fortune, some will die for pleasure But only lovers died for love But only lovers died for love (repeat) |
