The Scarlet Pimpernel

I wish that we were meant to see

What is and isn’t meant to be.

If you can’t see that I’m in love, I think I ought to go.

It took so long to write this song.

I’m still not sure it’s right or wrong.

I have so much I want to say, but you don’t want to know.

 

We’ve loved a while in our odd style,

And I’ve been glad to make you smile.

I thought sometimes I’d reached your heart, but I could never tell.

They seek him here, they seek him there.

Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.

Is he in Heaven or in Hell, that damned, elusive Pimpernel?
