Generate meaning
1
He lived alone in town
2
His friends were many and true
3
He drank and took the easy love
4
Of street girls that he knew
5
And he met a girl one day
6
Said "come home with me tonight"
7
"Oh no!" she cried "I never will."
8
And she left him there alone
9
And the days went by, and days
10
Went by and they did long
11
For each other every hour
12
But still she'd not be bound
13
"In the places of young men
14
I never will be found
15
But think you not that I don't love
16
For my heart is ripe and full"
17
"How cold you are!" he said
18
"I guess you must not care
19
For me. But tell me,
20
Where it is you'd go
21
For I'd take you anywhere"
22
"Then come to a forest green
23
Where I may love you free
24
Beyond the confines of your walls
25
And beyond the sweetest words"
26
"And beyond the mountains high
27
Beyond the fields of shame
28
And beyond the prettiest wedding ring
29
For I'd never take your name"
30
"And wander with me now
31
Or wander all forlorn
32
But know I love you, tearful one,
33
Much more than I can show"
34
He could not understand
35
He thought she could not care
36
"Oh, take me far away," she'd cried
37
And he could not hear her prayer
38
And he wandered off alone
39
To never know her dream
40
And she still dwells within the forest
41
Longing for his love
42
"So, wander with me now
43
Or wander off alone
44
But know I love you, tearful one,
45
Much more than I can show"
