[00:04.53]Did I abuse her or show her disdain
[00:08.48]Why does she run from me
[00:12.63]If I should lose her how shall I regain
[00:15.96]The heart she has won from me
[00:20.30]Agony, beyond power of speech
[00:26.00]When the one thing you want
[00:29.58]Is the only thing out of your reach
[00:34.32]High in her tower she sits by the hour
[00:37.36]Maintaining her hair
[00:41.53]Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
[00:45.24]A light-hearted air
[00:47.08]Ah
[00:51.03]Agony, far more painful than yours
[00:57.09]When you know she would go with you
[01:01.51]If there only were doors
[01:04.79]Agony, all the torture they teach
[01:12.38]What's as intruiging or half so fatiguing
[01:16.19]As what's out of reach
[01:19.25]Am I not sensitive, clever
[01:21.97]Well-mannered, considerate
[01:23.92]Passionate, charming
[01:25.34]As kind as I'm handsome
[01:26.96]And heir to a throne?
[01:28.18]You are everything maidens could wish for
[01:31.46]Then why no
[01:32.01]Do I know?
[01:33.24]The girl must be mad
[01:36.80]You know nothing of madness
[01:40.56]'Til you're climbing her hair
[01:42.40]And you see her up there as you're nearing her
[01:45.13]And all the while hearing her
[01:47.78]Ah
[01:53.02]Agony, misery, though it's different for each
[01:59.69]Always ten steps behind, always ten feet below
[02:03.28]And she's just out of reach
[02:06.59]Agony, that can cut like a knife
[02:13.09]I must have her to wife

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 light-hearted air
Ah
Agony, far more painful than yours
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors
Agony, all the torture they teach
What's as intruiging or half so fatiguing
As what's out of reach
Am I not sensitive, clever
Well-mannered, considerate
Passionate, charming
As kind as I'm handsome
And heir to a throne?
You are everything maidens could wish for
Then why no
Do I 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
And all the while hearing her
Ah
Agony, misery, 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
