Agony Lyrics by Eleri Ward

Keep A Tender Distance

2022

Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?
Agony
Beyond power of speech
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach
High in her tower
She sits by the hour
Maintaining her hair
Blithe and becoming
And frequently humming
A lighthearted air
Ah
Agony
Far more painful than yours
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors
Agony
Oh, the torture they teach
What's as intriguing or half so fatiguing
As what's out of rеach?
Am I not sensitive, clevеr
Well-mannered, considerate
Passionate, charming
As kind as I'm handsome
An heir to a throne?
You are everything maidens could wish for
Then why no—
Do l know?
The girl must be mad
You know nothing of madness
'Til you're climbing her hair
And you see her up there
As you're nearing her
All the while hearing her
"Ah"
Agony, misery, woe
Though it's different for each
Always ten steps behind
Always ten feet below
And she's just out of reach
Agony
That can cut like a knife
I must have her to wife
