I took her to the dark wood
And I laid her on the ground
I asked her if this was good
But she did not make a sound

Listen to me, detective, I think you'd better close your file
No, no, no, no, officer, I haven't seen her for a while

Green leaves for her coverlet
Her wreath a daisy chain
I was once her lover, yet
Her reaper I became

Listen to me, relative, I think you'd better learn to smile
No, no, no, no, officer, I haven't seen her for a while

And I have wandered through a wilderness
And I have wandered through a wilderness
And I have wandered

And I'm happy here by myself
Just me and my girl
I'm happy here by myself

And I'm feeling so good tonight
With you by my side
I'm feeling so good tonight
