Loves' Prisoner

Lying in a cold cell Waiting for the light of day No one here I can tell Why here I must stay Her love has imprisoned me And I shall never break out Inmate I will ever be Of this I have no doubt 'Twas in late spring I saw her first A stunning brown-eyed girl One look at Lynn my life reversed A new banner I unfurl But she can't see the gifts I bring Within this shabby box She wouldn't say I single thing Until fate suddenly knocks A wave from fate dumped me flat Upon life's rocky shore My sweet angel was there like that To help me rise once Walking with her down that lonely beach I envisioned my new life This new goal I had to reach To have her as my wife To my utter surprise she agreed My heart was all a swell Now I'm locked but never freed Within loves' prison cell
