The Story of Louise De Lorraine

The gardens of Chenonceau look so beautiful and bright But I prefer to keep them out of sight As I mourn in this room of black and white I sit tight and wait for my love He gave me his word and that is enough However, my heart knows the truth and it is breaking But I still spend every waking hour Hoping he’ll come by I don’t know how many days, years or months have past But the air in here is starting to turn sour Hopefully soon I will die For I have cried a million tears I speak not a word to anyone And if people should speak to me, I do not hear For their words fall upon death ears I cover my walls with symbols of death For it seems like that’s the only thing in my life that’s left I pray every day That God will see it my way And end my stay on this earth Because a life without my husband is not worth living for Please God, when the time comes open that door For I wouldn’t want anything more But until that day, I will stay And I will wait
