Dido & Aeneas
He was marching along and he spun on the spot
Thought he was being followed or has he lost his wit
That ghost always haunts him, is it her, or not
He will never forget, she will not let him quit
The flames are all around
Her love burns like a hot furnace
Why did he not make a sound
Was it for some higher purpose
It was still a sign of villainy
Not telling her of his love in verse
So she kept her dignity
And took her revenge with a curse
He got to have a home, have a wife and have fame
She had to escape suffering by using his own sword
He barely thought that he might be to blame
But it was he who had plucked the fatal chord
The flames are all around
Her love burns like a hot furnace
Why did he not make a sound
Was it for some higher purpose
It was still a sign of villainy
Not telling her of his love in verse
So she kept her dignity
And took her revenge with a curse
They meet again but it's not right
He is regretful, she is not he was wrong
He is weeping, he left in flight
She won't receive him, he took too long, too long
The flames are all around
Her love burns like a hot furnace
Why did he not make a sound
Was it for some higher purpose
It was still a sign of villainy
Not telling her of his love in verse
So she kept her dignity
And took her revenge with a curse
Thought he was being followed or has he lost his wit
That ghost always haunts him, is it her, or not
He will never forget, she will not let him quit
The flames are all around
Her love burns like a hot furnace
Why did he not make a sound
Was it for some higher purpose
It was still a sign of villainy
Not telling her of his love in verse
So she kept her dignity
And took her revenge with a curse
He got to have a home, have a wife and have fame
She had to escape suffering by using his own sword
He barely thought that he might be to blame
But it was he who had plucked the fatal chord
The flames are all around
Her love burns like a hot furnace
Why did he not make a sound
Was it for some higher purpose
It was still a sign of villainy
Not telling her of his love in verse
So she kept her dignity
And took her revenge with a curse
They meet again but it's not right
He is regretful, she is not he was wrong
He is weeping, he left in flight
She won't receive him, he took too long, too long
The flames are all around
Her love burns like a hot furnace
Why did he not make a sound
Was it for some higher purpose
It was still a sign of villainy
Not telling her of his love in verse
So she kept her dignity
And took her revenge with a curse
