Spring Frost

You were so young and beautiful And all the girls would sigh As you walked by You were so young and beautiful And all the girls would sigh As you walked by You laughed and joked You said you were so bored of life So bored of it all, so young and bored And all the girls they did sigh As you walked by For I was young so young For I was young and full of dreams I did not understand That one so young could be bored Bored of it all You told me with a smile You told me with a smile That you were bored of life So very bored of life You told me with a smile that never left your face That nothing interested you anymore That you were so bored of it all So very bored And at that moment You seemed so old to me You seemed so very old to me One thousand years old One thousand years old You were young and beautiful You were young so very young and beautiful And all the girls would sigh As you walked by One day out of a grey cloud The news came by word of mouth to me That you had died That you had died I heard you hung yourself By Greenwich Pier And the lights of the city expired And the joy of this world expired I would have liked to have known you more I would like to have known you But I ran out of time I ran out of time I ran out of time I ran out of time
