Dorothy, Dorothy
She gave up everything
just to be with him
her whole life turned
around his own
He loved her young wild eyes
he saw himself in them
there never was a day
he strayed from her mind
She was all for him
He was all for her
two bodies and one soul
Everywhere he went
she followed suit
all the poems he wrote
she took down
She was his love
She was his girl
he saw himself
in her wild eyes
She was all for him
He was all for her
siblings and lovers both
She followed him up and down
great mountains into foreign cities
and God-forsaken towns
(chorus)
Dorothy, Dorothy, what are you to do?
Your secret lover another one has wed.
Dorothy, Dorothy, in your room alone
your tears have wet the sheets
of lawless love
(Bridge)
Dorothy, Dorothy, what are you to do?
Your secret lover another one has wed.
Dorothy, Dorothy, in your room alone
your tears have wet the sheets
of lawless love.
