The midnight bells are ringing low
Please leave my hand, I need to go

You need me by your side, I know
I'll come back here, just take my vow

Oh you'll miss me? Here take my bow
And keep it safe, don't you throw

I know I know, you want your show
But I am bound, don't start a row

They'll kill me if I reach too slow
I need to run back in moonlit glow

And that night, he agreed to let go
With a promise to come back though

I kept my promise to death although
He got a new girl and threw my bow

They lied to me, called bad girls low
But I was a good girl, he told me 'No'!

They're so wrong, they told me so
You'll always reap what you'll sow
