Written and Performed by Colette the Bard

lyrics

Héloïse writes and waits
For her love to return for her someday.
The loneliness ebbs and flows in waves.
Says she, "'Tis a small price to pay."

She cries, "Oh, oh my love," She cries, "Oh, oh my love.
My love, oh. Oh, oh."

Héloïse wears no ring.
Héloïse wears not a thing,
Except old habits and ball and chain,
And the hope that he'll return for her someday.

She cries, "Oh, oh my love," She cries, "Oh, oh my love.
My love, oh. Oh, oh."

Héloïse, oh aren't you cold,
While to this phantom, you so desperately hold,
And seek in the void echoes of the past?
Oh Héloïse, how long can your hope last?

She cries, "Oh, oh my love," She cries, "Oh, oh my love."

Héloïse, to the present return,
Oh Héloïse, though for him you still burn.
He holds no passion for you,
And there's nothing, nothing your letter can do.

And all these years silence lie between,
And not a whisper of him have you seen.
Put down your letters. Drop the quill.
While there's life left to be living still.

But she cries, "Oh, oh my love,"
She cries, "Oh, oh my love."
She cries, "Oh, oh my love,"
She cries, "Oh, oh my love,"
She cries, "Oh, oh my love,"
She cries, "Oh, oh my love.
My love, oh. Oh, oh."

Héloíse writes and waits
For her love to return for her someday.
The loneliness ebbs and flows in waves.
Says she, "'Tis a small price to pay."
