[Verse 1]
           
 Upon the sand

[Verse 2]
        
       End of 

            
the pier, end 

          
of the bay
          
You tug my arm

          
, and say: "Gi

            
ve in to lust,
            
Give up to lus

[Chorus]
           
And sorrow's n

[Verse 3]
        
     I could h

              
ave been wild 

             
and I could ha

            
ve been free
          
But nature pla

             
yed this trick

      
 on me
           
She wants it n

   
ow
            
And she will n

   
ot wait


[Verse 4]
            
But she's too 


rough
             
And I'm too de

      
licate
              
Then, on the s

   
and
           
Another man, h

           
e takes her ha

nd
            
A smile lights

            
 up her stupid

  
 face
             
(and well, it 


would)


[Chorus]
          
I   lost my fa

             
ith in Womanho

  
od
            
I lost my fait

             
h in Womanhood
          
I lost my fait

   
h...
     
Oh...

   


[Outro]

Hand in glove.

..
    
The sun shines

 out of our be

hinds...

Oh...
   
   
   

(Fade out)
