Alone and yet alive
My soul is still my body’s prisoner
Remote the peace that death alone can give
My doom to wait
My punishment to live to llive
 
Oh, living I
Come tell me why
When hope is gone
Do you stay on
Why linger here
When all is drear
 
Oh, living I
Come tell me why
When hope is gone
Do you stay on
May not a cheated woman die
May not a cheated woman die
 
Hearts do not break
They sting and ache
For old love’s sake
But do not die
Though with each breath
They long for death
As witnesseth
The living I
The living I
 
Oh, living I
Come tell me why
When hope is gone
Do you stay on
Why linger here
When all is drear
 
Oh, living I
You’d better come and tell me why
When hope is gone
Do you stay on
Why linger here
When you can fly
Does not a cheated woman die
