In love again to fall
I dreaded the thought
Like a drunkard after a fall
Regards the tempting pot
Will she catch me when I fall?
I pondered 'pon my bed
For I knew not at all
The fate that God had laid
So treading on my toes
Like a thief in the night
I drew ever so close
Heart beating with might
My throat waxed dry
My words they grew few
Like a village girl shy
In a lone chapel pew
But catch me she did
Like mother with child
And nobody she'd bid
To have me beside
Like lioness with cub
She'd kill to guard me
Fierce stare like a stab
To the girls beside me
So in me I questioned
Why the fears so grim
But then awake I did
For it was just a dream
