Poor soul

It was all but a favor
To see her life just pass on by
What he'd give just to take her
How he'd wait so patiently
How she had a chance for the world on a string
Poor soul, poor thing
Oh, I remember everything

He was in love, you see, with a pretty woman
Had a pretty vision, what a shame 'cause
There was this man, you see, had the tailor taken
To become a patient, so she could be vacant
Poor soul

Everything all around him, the tailor was at peace
The head of the asylum, he wanted everything
And еveryone who had something hе loved
He'd sacrifice his wife if it meant satisfying lust
He'd sacrifice his wife if it meant satisfying lust
With a baby on the way, tailor sent away
Say goodbye, daddy
Say goodbye to Lavender, watch your love fade away

He was in love, you see, with a pretty woman
Had a pretty vision, what a shame 'cause
There was this man, you see, had the tailor taken
To become a patient, so she could be vacant
Poor soul

There was this masquerade
Far from an escapade
He defiled her, he laughed as she died
Tainted with malice of malevolent goodbye
He was in love, you see, with a pretty woman
Had a pretty vision

He was in love, you see, with a pretty woman
Had a pretty vision, what a shame 'cause
There was this man, you see, had the tailor taken
To become a patient, so she could be vacant
Poor soul

How she had a chance for the world on a string
Poor soul, poor thing
Oh, I remember everything
How she had a chance for the world on a string
Poor soul, poor thing
Poor soul, poor thing
