How wrapped I am, oh no one knows
The highest cloud's under my nose
Oh here I am, she's here as well
What princes buy is what I sell
...
Don't let thy lips fall into sleep
I read thy eyes so well, so deep
Let thy mind rest so in that peace
And thy heart beat without a cease
...
Have you ever known love's prowess?
That makes you weak-kneed and powerless
It'll force to do things you won't do
To believe the sky black is true
...
Would my life be just a second?
Would it go now ere it's reckoned?
What a thing is life worth living?
Once a trouble goes, ten are coming
...
Am I the tear that once it's shed consumed?
Upon your cheek my death is doomed?
Or a candle to light your darkness and be burnt?
And then your face from me is turned?
...
Is our life a playing of dice?
That now we have to pay the price?
Not only once, but twice and thrice
And at the end, why aren't we nice?
...
Oh! Your face shines like a star
You make of me the best avatar
Oh! Your air when it comes out
I feel my world now comes about
...
I'm the English language, now clear the way
I'm the world's language, spoken everyday
Anyway, my friends I'm here to explain
To you the English words and squeeze your brain
...
Don't ever, my dear, think it's good
To love and dearly care and look
You'll find her have a heart of wood,
Your poison she'll prepare and cook
...
English is an alphabet soup
To pronounce spelling you might hope
Coz sounds and letters are different
When you rhyme chalet /ˈ ʃ æl.eɪ / with content /ˈ kɒ n.tent/
...
