In the middle of nowhere, through a blizzard
Beloved, the trouble I went through with you
In those straights the world didn't make me laugh
My life became a lie
I wrote a ballad in your name
I was sincerely bored with my love
I wandered in strange, foreign lands
My life became a lie
Oh my life! Oh my hapless life
Oh my lonely life! My life has become a disaster
The choices I have made, the things I have seen
I piled trouble on top of trouble
Stubbornly I brought myself to grief
My life became a lie
Don't think they I forgot you
I hung roses to dry
I took up residence in a foreign land
My life became a lie
