Anni Frid Lyngstad Threnody Lyrics

Threnody Lyrics

Lilacs blossom just as sweet

 Now my heart is shattered

 If I bowled it down the street

 Who's to say it mattered?

 If there's one that rode away

 What would I be missing?

 Lips that taste of tears, they say

 Are the best for kissing

 

 Eyes that watch the morning star

 Seem a little brighter

 Arms held out to darkness are

 Usually whiter

 Shall I bar the strolling guest

 Bind my brow with willow

 When, they say, the empty breast

 Is the softer pillow?

 

 That a heart falls tinkling down

 Never think it ceases

 Every likely lad in town

 Gathers up the pieces

 If there's one gone whistling by

 Would I let it grieve me?

 Let him wonder if I lie

 Let him half believe me
