Although we have a baby, I haven't changed.
I still am in your power.
My brilliant lights would still go out
if you would turn away.
A leaden heart would follow me about
and everything I say or sing
would be a flightless thing.

I still desire you.
Please be kind to the victim of your charms.
I still need to see you turn to
appleblossom in my arms.

Let our cup run over.
It wasn't for only the sunny days
that I promised my love to you.
But till time and tides are through, my love,
I haven't changed.
My love is true.
